TORONTO, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- Two planes collided at Toronto Pearson airport Friday night without causing any injuries, a local TV channel reported.
A plane belonging to Canada's Sunwing Airlines crashed into a Boeing 737-800 aircraft of Canada's WestJet Airline when the former was backing out from a gate at the Terminal 3 of the airport, the CTV said.
