The FBI concluded its investigation into a fiery car wreck at a Niagara Falls border checkpoint, stating there’s no evidence of a terror attack. The decision followed the vehicle speeding through an intersection, hitting a median, launching through the air, and exploding at the Rainbow Bridge.
Local police are now treating it as a traffic investigation. The incident occurred just before Thanksgiving, easing tensions during the holiday season. Now, terrorism is one of the most horrid threats to global security. Even the slightest scare sets off alarm bells in their minds.
After thoroughly searching the scene and finding no explosive materials, the FBI concluded there was no terrorism link. The investigation has now transitioned to the Niagara Falls Police Department’s Crash Management Unit. Due to the incident’s complexity, the city’s police anticipate a comprehensive but time-consuming investigation process.
This is not the first time a terrorist scare has gone off in the country. But it is a moment of relief when the alarm proves wrong. The police are forever on alert to defuse a terrorist threat. It is thanks to the tireless authorities that we can sleep well.
