New details about couple killed in Niagara Falls BORDER crash. Local New York man and his wife, who have not been identified, planned to attend a KISS concert in Canada but the gig was cancelled, police sources have said. The two spent the night visiting a casino near the border before the speeding Bentley they were travelling in rammed into the crossing at Rainbow Bridge, and hit a curb on the US side of the border and became airborne before exploding. The blast instantly sparked fears of a terrorist attack and prompted Canadian and New York officials to briefly shutter all border bridges between the countries, which were later re-opened, once it was confirmed it was NOT an act of terror.
