Two people were killed in a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge, a U.S.-Canada border crossing near Niagara Falls, in western New York. The victims were identified as Kurt P. Villani, 53, and his wife, 53-year-old Monica Villani. The explosion occurred when their vehicle, a Bentley, was traveling at a high rate of speed, hit a curb, crashed through a fence, and caught fire, leading to the explosion. The incident was initially a cause of concern for terrorism, but the FBI found no connection to terrorism and no explosive materials at the scene. The matter has been turned over to the Niagara Falls Police Department as a traffic investigation
