[1/2] A Customs and Border Protection officer watches as a vehicle burns at the Rainbow Bridge U.S. border crossing with Canada, in Niagara Falls, New York, U.S. November 22, 2023 in a still image from video.
The Niagara Falls police department's Crash Management Unit has taken over the investigation of the incident, which was determined by U.S. federal agencies, including the FBI, not to have been a terrorist event.
"Due to the complexity of the incident, the investigation will take some time to complete," Niagara Falls Police Department Superintendent John Faso said in a statement.
"At this time the identity of those involved is pending positive identification and notification to next of kin."
