”There is a plane crash. However, we don't know the circumstances surrounding it at this point,” said Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario.
She added that “most of the passengers” were out of the plane and unharmed, but the police on the scene are still investigating.
The crash follows several other air incidents in North America in late January. An American Airlines passenger jet collided with an Army helicopter while preparing to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C., killing 67 people. Another tragedy occurred in Philadelphia, where seven people died when a medical transport plane crashed near a mall.
