NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — A vehicle speeding toward a U.S.-Canada bridge from the American side crashed and exploded at a checkpoint in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, killing two people and prompting the closing of border crossings in the area, authorities said. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said there was “no indication of a terrorist attack.”

Much remained unclear about the crash, which investigators were working to understand. Hochul said it wasn’t clear whether the driver was intentionally heading for the Rainbow Bridge across the Niagara River when the vehicle hit a median and flew into the air.

“ Based on what we know at this moment,” she said, “there is no sign of terrorist activity in this crash.”

It prompted the closing of four border crossings and raised concerns on both sides of the border. The White House said President Joe Biden was “closely following developments,” and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said officials were “taking this extraordinarily seriously.”

seriously.”

“This is obviously a very serious situation in Niagara Falls,” Trudeau said in Parliament before excusing himself from Question Period in the House of Commons to be briefed further.

The two deceased people were in the vehicle, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Aaron Ferguson, a spokesperson for the city of Niagara Falls, New York, said the vehicle was traveling at high speed from that city and crashed into the border station.

As others have said in cases such as the killers who targeted the small Jewish Kosher grocery store in December, 2019 (total of 6 including the 2 killers), there is no terrorism involved, so victims’ loved ones can breathe a sigh of relief that the slaughter wasn’t so bad if it’s not “terror” related./S

There was a small error in the article. I fixed it.

“Much remained unclear about the crash, which investigators were working to understand hide.”

apparantly the car was a Bentley, which adds an interesting twist.

Parking attendants out for a spin?

Hochul’s voice grates worse than Hillary’s, if that’s possible. I move fast to change the channel when she comes on.

The video of the car flying through the air, doesn’t look like a bomb..but it doesn’t mean there was no terrorism..why was the car flying like that, could have been a deliberate crash, why were they fleeing in the first place..they had reported they were told to go to a secondary checkpoint, perhaps something was in the car they didnt want anyone to see

ALL the usual Government agencies are far TOO QUICK in simultaneously reporting that "it's not a terror attack"... WHY is that?

there was “no indication of a terrorist attack.”

Other than vehicle parts scatter over a block. I was expecting a BS story even before they started it.
