I was thinking the same thing, a lot of air for a curb.

The car was a Bentley 'Flying Spur'. Certainly flying.

A couple from the area, NY side.

Here's a bit more on the situation https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12781829/niagara-bridge-usa-canada-terrorism-explosion-gambling.html

This makes no sense. A husband decides to do a Dukes of Hazard with his wife in the car?

More likely, he suffered a stroke and mashed the pedal to the floor. Maybe his foot was on the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal held it in place.

Media immediately reports this as an explosion when it was a spectacular crash with a post fire. I'm sure witnesses there saw it happen and reported what actually happened right off the hop. A million cameras around because it's a border crossing. Sensationalism at its finest.

Dude had a medical incident or offed himself because the concert was cancelled or interest rates ruined him.

Whatever happened, it was pretty sensational!
