Rainbow Bridge: US-Canada border blast not terror related, New York governor says - BBC News
Two people were killed after a car accelerated before being engulfed in flames near Niagara Falls in New York.
When a car exploded after flying into a US customs and border structure on the eve of the major Thanksgiving holiday, tensions were high.

The FBI started an investigation and border routes between the US and Canada were blocked off.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has since told media that at this stage, it appears to have no relation to terrorism.

Two people died, but their identities have not yet been confirmed. What caused the high-speed crash and explosion to happen is still uncertain.

Most of the border crossings have since re-opened. But the investigation into what took place could take some time. Governor Hochul said barely anything was left from the car.
