A Delta-operated CRJ900 flipped onto its back during landing at Toronto Pearson Airport, with no fatalities reported among the 80 passengers and crew.

  • The Delta Air Lines regional flight from Minneapolis overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on February 17, 2025, during challenging weather conditions.
  • Eighteen people sustained injuries, including three serious cases—a man, a woman, and a minor—though all are expected to survive.
  • Investigators are examining the cause of the crash, with conflicting reports about crosswinds and snow on the runway during the landing.
  • The overturned aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ900, suffered significant damage, including the detachment of at least one wing, but no fatalities occurred.
  • Flight operations at Toronto Pearson resumed hours later, though two runways remain closed for the investigation led by Canadian and U.S. safety authorities.
