New York couple, fiery car crash and Thanksgiving travel chaos: What we know about Rainbow Bridge explosion
Two people died after a vehicle exploded at a US-Canada border crossing at Rainbow Bridge, Niagara Falls, on Wednesday 22 November.
The car was attempting to enter Canada from the United States when it sped toward a checkpoint, crashed into a fence and erupted “into a fireball” just before midday ET, according to witnesses.
Video footage and photos showed flames and thick black smoke billowing from the checkpoint, and a security booth that had been charred by flames.
The blast reportedly injured one Border Patrol officer, and led to the closure of four border crossings
