Investigators believe a New York man and his wife were the two people killed in a car that crashed and exploded at a US-Canada border crossing near Niagara Falls on Wednesday, law enforcement sources say, and the FBI sees no link to terrorism.

Alarms were raised from New York to Washington, DC, late Wednesday morning after the incident on the US side of the Rainbow Bridge crossing. Investigators believe the couple was traveling in a Bentley at high speed when it struck a curb at the checkpoint, then hit a guardrail that sent the vehicle airborne and into a screening area before it exploded, according to the sources.

Despite initial concerns of a terror attack, the FBI has not found any connection to terrorism and no explosives were found at the scene, the agency’s Buffalo field office announced Wednesday night. The case is being turned over to local police as a traffic investigation.

“I want to be very, very clear to Americans and New Yorkers: At this time there is no indication of a terrorist attack,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a news conference Wednesday evening.

Rainbow crossing Canada US Sources: Deadly crash at US-Canadian border bridge involved man and wife in a Bentley, investigators believe “Two individuals died in the vehicle,” Hochul said, noting the car is associated with a western New York resident.

Investigators believe the man who died had plans to attend a KISS concert in Canada, but when it was canceled he went to a casino in the US instead. The crash occurred sometime after the couple left the casino, the sources said.

“There’s a lot of unanswered questions,” Hochul said of the vehicle’s occupants Wednesday. She noted it was still unclear whether the crash was an accident or an intentional act.

Is this car full of complicated computers that control the the engine? There have been reports of runaway late-model vehicles that the driver couldn’t control.

One story is it was full of explosives.

One story is five Iranian students at the border crossing were killed.

Now it was two frustrated KISS fans doing a Thelma and Louise? Sorry. Not buying it.

It’s hard to find anything in search engines anymore as no matter what you look for someone is spoofing your search with their unrelated product. So, I can’t easily determine if there’s a battery powered Bently. But having done vehicle fire tests on regular fuel aircraft I can say this does not appear to be a regular fuel fed fire.

Here’s what happens in electric vehicle fires. The batteries outgas and that gas is very explosive. The gas accumulates in a closed section of the car and then ignites, and you get an explosion similar to what we saw in the video. If this is what happened the occupants were probably overcome before the explosion by the fumes and were unconscious or dead when the car went out of control, crashed and the gas exploded.

Well, it was a Bentley, so I'm sure it was.

It was an electric car and Alexa was giving directions via AI to the driver.

That’s the REAL story they’re trying to hide. ;)

But Bentley has yet to put an EV on the market.

It was his final chance to see KISS... So the depressive action of taking ones life is a bit understandable because this will be their last tour... Until the next tour.

Who in their right mind would select a Bentley as a weapon?

after the incident on the US side of the Rainbow Bridge crossing.

Maybe cameras detected that they were a mixed-sex couple trying to cross at the Rainbow Bridge and so an explosion was ordered. After all, "Love is love" and so the explosion was triggered to prevent the spread of hate.

Near Yuma AZ in Mid October, a car collided with barriers at a Border Patrol checkpoint injuring two Border Patrol agents. Time to track coincidences?

I don’t think it has to be an electric vehicle for nefarious powers to take control of it. I recall someone a few years back having his car “taken over” and going to high speed and crashing into a tree. It was a young reporter....I suspect working on something related to the Clintons. I think his name was Michael something. Will see if I can find it.

Ah yes.....this guy:

It will be interesting to find out who was killed and if they have any connections at all to the cabal. Perhaps the car was stolen, as some have said. Perhaps it was fleeing America to get to Canada for some reason. We shall see. Or not.

“Was it an EV?”

No. It was a Bentley Flying Spur (aka the Continental Flying Spur) that started being produced in 2005 and still currently.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_Flying_Spur_(2005)

It is defined as “a full-sized high-performance luxury sedan.”

It has a six liter W12 motor with twin turbos and a six-speed transmission that produces 500 to 600 horsepower.

“The steering column-mounted paddle shifters enable direct access to the six-speed gearbox when the ZF transmission is in “S” or sports mode.”

The Bentley Flying Spur sells for about $200K.
