Aircraft
After take-off upon retracting the landing gear; we got the single chime and HYD 3 LO PRESS message and IB GND SPLRS message. Followed QRH and declared an emergency with the Tower for a return to Runway 18. Landing was uneventful; stopped the aircraft on a high-speed. Had the passengers deplaned and transported to the terminal by bus. Aircraft was towed to the gate. [We] observed hydraulic leak on the left wing.
A CRJ-700 EICAS alerted HYD 3 LO PRESS and IB GND SPLRS when the landing gear were retracted so an emergency was declared; the QRH completed and the aircraft returned to the departure airport where the passengers were deplaned on a high speed taxiway.
