The Endeavor Air flight from Minneapolis had been attempting to land in Toronto when it went down. All 80 passengers and crew members were evacuated safely. Authorities confirmed that several people, including a child, were injured and transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. The Toronto airport suspended all flights for at least two hours after the incident. While the flight operations have now resumed, the airport authority has said that the passengers are likely to witness long delays today. The cause of the accident is not yet clear, but authorities have not ruled out a possible mechanical failure or an engine failure, which could have been caused by an overheated engine or a faulty landing gear. The flight originated in Minneapolis and was headed to Toronto Pearson International Airport from Minneapolis. It was the second flight of the day from Minneapolis to Toronto after a powerful snowstorm battered the area earlier in the day.
