Border Crossing Explosion
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — New York Governor Kathy Hochul says there is no indication of a terrorist attack in the car which crash and exploded —killing two people at a checkpoint on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. It happened late Wednesday morning on the U.S Canada border. All traffic was temporarily withheld from crossing the border. Security video at the border checkpoint shows the speeding vehicle sent airborne–prior to exploding.
The incident set off a nationwide chain reaction of high security alerts. The incident remains under investigation.
