The man fell about six meters before hitting the runway, and the plane, a Boeing 777, was still at the gates of Toronto Airport. Immediately, regional police and emergency services from Peel, a regional municipality in southern Ontario, responded to the incident around 9 p.m. Monday. The injured passenger was taken to hospital for treatment and the incident delayed the flight for six hours.
Meanwhile, Peel paramedics confirmed to Global News that they treated a patient and transported him to a local trauma center with life-threatening injuries.
