A vehicle exploded Wednesday, causing the Rainbow Bridge connecting the United States and Canada near Niagara Falls to close, the FBI said.
The FBI said it is investigating the explosion and that the “situation is very fluid.”
“I’ve been briefed on the incident on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls and we are closely monitoring the situation. State agencies are on site and ready to assist,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Videos claiming purportedly from the scene show fire and large smoke clouds.
