Five Hurt After Fuel Truck Hits Plane At Pearson Airport

Five people were taken to hospital early Friday after a fuel truck collided with a plane on a tarmac at Toronto Pearson International airport. According to The Canadian Press, the Jazz flight with 51 people on board was headed for Sudbury, Ont., but turned around because of bad weather. 

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the plane was taxiing back to the gate and was struck by a fuel truck. Police say the plane was hit three time and five people – the pilot, co-pilot and three passengers – were treated for minor injuries.
