Tragic Rainbow Bridge explosion claims lives in Niagara Falls
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian US
The investigation into a car crash and explosion at a US-Canada border checkpoint in Niagara Falls is exploring whether mechanical or medical issues were responsible for the incident, which killed a married couple. The victims were identified as Kurt P Villani and Monica Villani, who were heading to a canceled concert in Canada. The crash occurred when their luxury car struck a median, flew through the air, and collided with security booths before bursting into flames. Initial reports of a terror attack have been dismissed by FBI officials, and the investigation is now being handled as a traffic accident.
