McAdams later reported on air her that sources are now not sure what caused the vehicle explosion, but terrorism has not been ruled out.
Excerpt from the the Niagara Falls Gazette report on the incident:
The Rainbow Bridge has been closed to all traffic amid reports of a vehicle explosion just outside the border inspections plaza on the American side.
Traveling down Niagara Street, the car sped onto the bridge plaza, went through a fence separating the inbound lanes from the outbound lanes, and toward the inspection lanes where it exploded, according to law enforcement sources at the scene.
Two occupants of the car were killed in the explosion.
A border protection agent was injured but not seriously. He’s being treated for non-life threatening injuries at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, sources said.
Ontario police posted a video Wednesday saying that they are closing bridges to the U.S. and roadways approaching the bridges after a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls. Governments on both sides of the Niagara River are responding to the explosion as if it was a terrorist attack.

“PERFECT” timing when most are traveling to celebrate thanksgiving holiday~ what next “ANOTHER” attempted attack in the makings for christmas new year holidays??
Where is Jb & his Soros backed group pf criminal thugs~ they aren’t honouring the oath, they took to “PROTECT, PRESERVE & DEFEND AMERICA???!!!
CBS reported 7am this morning that it did not explode, there was no bomb, there was no terrorist threat and they have closed their investigation.
Nothing to see here.
Why would anyone believe the “Chinese Broadcast System”?
Our government is warning us to be on alert for terrorism but has allowed millions of unvetted people – mostly military aged men and likely thousands of terrorists – to enter into our country. These illegals are still being invited into our country by the traitorous Biden Administration and we are providing them with housing and other financial subsidies to the detriment of our own needy citizens. This is being done intentionally to move the anti-white, anti-American, queer Obama agenda forward. People need to be removed from office, tried for treason and convicted!
No explosion my ass.
Well if it Joe Biden FBI they will cover up anything that the Democrats had to do with it just like the information of the JFK we are now finding out about and they say the Secret Service man accidently shot Kennedy Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
