The F-B-I says a deadly car crash and explosion at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing in Niagara Falls, New York shows no sign of terrorist involvement.
Officials say there were no explosive materials at the scene, and the case has been turned over to the Niagara Falls Police Department as a traffic investigation.Details of what led to yesterday’s crash remain scarce.But security camera video released by the U-S government last night shows the car speeding through an intersection, hitting a low median and flying through the air into a line of vehicle checkpoint booths.

Two people in the car were killed — reportedly a husband and wife — and one person in a border patrol booth suffered minor injuries.
