The Air Canada flight skidded off the runway at Halifax, following an abrupt landing. Heavy snow meant visibility was reduced.

However initial reports suggest the accident could have been caused by an electrical fault.

The plane was travelling from Toronto with 137 people on board. There are no reports of deaths or serious injury.
