0:00It's March 23rd. From your city to your ears, this is Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. An air-Canada regional jet from Montreal collided with a fire truck on the runway at New York's La Guadilla Airport late Sunday night during landing. The crash killed the two pilots and injured dozens among the 76 people on board, which included 72 passengers and four crew members. The fire truck was rushing to handle a separate emergency involving a United Airlines flight that reported an older issue after a boarding takeoff. Controllers were coordinating that response when air traffic got busy with the incoming air-Canada plane. Officials confirmed all passengers and crew are accounted for, with 41 sent to hospitals and queens. 32 have been released, while nine remain in treatment, including some in serious condition. The two port authority workers in the truck suffered non-life threatening injuries. La Guadilla stayed shut until at least 2pm, Monday to allow investigators from the National

This rare runway mishap at one of America's busier airports underscores ongoing safety efforts amid heavy traffic. More details should surf as soon from the ongoing review.
