An astonishing new image shows the moment the $300k Bentley involved in the Niagara Falls checkpoint explosion soared through the air moments before combusting.
US police said on Thursday they were still investigating the fiery crash on the bridge linking New York state and Ontario the day before.
The dramatic fireball incident at 11.29am Wednesday sparked a security scare and the closure of four US-Canadian border crossings on the day before Thanksgiving.
A new image which emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows the luxury motor twisting sideways as it hurtled through the air at break-neck speed.
It was being driven by a 56-year-old Manhattan businessman with his wife in the passenger seat on their way to a KISS concert.
US federal agencies including the FBI have now confirmed the incident was not a terrorist event. The Niagara Falls PD Crash Management Unit has take on the probe.
'Due to the complexity of the incident, the investigation will take some time to complete,' the department's Superintendent John Faso said in a statement.
'At this time the identity of those involved is pending positive identification and notification to next of kin.'
The Bentley, believed to be a Flying Spur, comes in both petrol and hybrid models, and it's unclear which one this was.
Video of the crash caught on security camera and previously posted to X by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency showed the car traveling from the U.S. side at high speed.

You are correctly asking questions. If the names are accurate, it is a mother and son.
Flying Spurs are available with voice-activated features that seem to invite disasters.
I can’t remember a “real life” instance of a car not a racecar in a race going airborne that far...
I am amazed at how many lux vehicles that cost $100k and punch 500 hp. Even in a sleepy place like Des Moines, Iowa, area. Insurance and banking execs who can’t handle them.
Unintentional activation of “cruise control” at the wrong time and speed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seems like it got hacked into and someone outside took control...
Got to laugh cause I know I’m gonna die. Why?
And that’s why there’s no hanky-panky when behind the wheel.
The first story said they were headed from the US towards Canada.
It would then be the son. Gail is listed as the owner. I doubt very much that the estate has been settled. The family knows who is missing and surely has a timeline on them.
Thanks.

I believe all new Bentley Flying Spurs are hybrids. Which is ridiculous since they get horrible mpgs as might be expected from 500+ hp engines.
