Ornge air ambulance transported a pediatric patient to Toronto’s SickKids hospital and two critically injured adults to other hospitals in the city. The cause of the incident is still unknown but weather conditions, including blowing snow and strong winds, may have been a factor. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead the investigation. This recent aviation mishap marks the fourth major incident in North America in the past month, following fatal accidents in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Alaska. Delta Air Lines, the parent company of Endeavor Air operating the flight, stated they were aware of the incident. Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed relief that there were no casualties and stated that provincial officials are ready to assist as needed.
