An Air Canada flight arriving at LaGuardia Airport in New York City crashed into a firetruck on Sunday night, leaving four firefighters critically injured, according to sources.
Emergency vehicles swarmed the runway after a plane heading from Montreal hit the firetruck at the Queens airport, according to footage captured by the Citizen App.
Images showed the front of the commuter plane smashed and tilting in the air. The injured firefighters are from the Port Authority Police Department, sources said.
One hundred passengers were on the jet, and their conditions are being evaluated. Sources said the plane was carrying a group of Orthodox Jews from the New York area.
The collision happened as the plane was heading to a gate, as heavy weather hit the area.
The FAA, Port Authority, and the FDNY did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. (New York Post)
