Multiple law enforcement agencies are responding after a vehicle exploded on a bridge linking the United States and Canada.
The FBI’s Buffalo Field Office has launched an investigation into the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge crossing in Niagara Falls.
The Bureau calls the situation “very fluid.” Adding “this is all we can say at this time.”
Fox News reports:
Explosives were in the vehicle at the time and two people who were in the car are dead, the sources told Fox News. A border officer was injured.
The vehicle was driving from the U.S. to Canada and were attempting to drive toward the border officer building, the sources said.
All bridges are closed in the area, and all government buildings are evacuated, according to the sources.
International border crossing points between Canada and Western New York are closed after the reported incident, which has also injured at least one person, a 27-year-old male who was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, including back pain and minor cuts. His condition is not severe.
All four border crossings linking Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, New York have closed. The closures affect three bridges linking Upstate New York and Ontario.
