All 80 passengers and crew were accounted for. There are no fatalities as a result of the crash and all passengers, including those with critical injuries, are expected to survive.
The Delta flight caught fire after crashing, but first responders were able to put out the blaze and passengers and crew were able to safely evacuate, as reported by ABC News.
At the time of the incident, the airport had been experiencing 20 to 30 mph winds. While it had not been snowing when the crash occurred, snow had reportedly been blowing around the airport.
Snowfall over the weekend had led to a slew of canceled flights, leading the airport to expect a busy day Monday.
The incident remains under investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
