Images of the accident showed the overturned aircraft surrounded by snow and were broadcast by media outlets such as CNN.

Despite the shocking scene, there were no fatalities, although it was a serious incident.

Authorities reported that within half an hour of the incident, most of the occupants had already been evacuated from the aircraft.

Eight people received medical attention from emergency services, though their health conditions have not been specified.

Images have been circulating on social media.

Social media footage showed passengers and crew members walking around the upside-down plane, with smoke rising from the fuselage.

This accident occurred amid difficult weather conditions, as Toronto had been hit by heavy snowstorms since the previous Thursday.

These conditions had caused multiple flight cancellations and delays at the airport.

However, on the day of the accident, the weather had already improved, and no other significant operational disruptions were reported at the airport.

The investigation is ongoing to determine whether weather conditions contributed to the crash.
