On the brink of Thanksgiving, authorities are piecing through details to deliver updates on a fatal crash that took place on the Rainbow Bridge connecting Canada to Niagara Falls, N.Y during one of the busiest travel days of the year.
According to CNN, a vehicle entering the bridge from the U.S. side drove at a high speed, hitting a median and going over an eight-foot fence, which resulted in a massive explosion killing two people inside of the vehicle and injuring a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. After initial speculation as to whether or not this could have been a terrorist situation, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon saying there are no signs of that being the case.
