“Based on what we know at this moment,” she said, “there is no sign of terrorist activity in this crash.”The vehicle was speeding from Niagara Falls, New York, toward the Rainbow Bridge. The explosion happened on the U.S. side of the Rainbow Bridge, which connects the two countries across the Niagara River. Trudeau said “additional measures” were being contemplated and activated at border crossings across Canada. The Niagara Falls Bridge Commission reported that all four of its crossings — the others are Lewiston, Whirlpool and Peace Bridge — were closed. About 6,000 vehicles cross the Rainbow Bridge each day, according to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory.
