Border crossing near Niagara Falls closed after vehicle explodes; cause of blast unclear

Here is testimony from a witness on the Rainbow Bridge explosion.

Describing the movement of the vehicle involved in the explosion, the witness said:

“My wife and I were walking down Main Street here and the car was coming … over 100 miles an hour. We could hardly see him, he was going that quick.

There was a car in front of him, he swerved around it and then it looked like he hit the fence and this fire started. And then all of a sudden, he went up in the air and then it was a ball of fire like 30, 40 ft high… [The car] was going towards Canada.”
