An astonishing new image shows the moment the $300k Bentley involved in the Niagara Falls checkpoint explosion soared through the air moments before combusting.
US police said on Thursday they were still investigating the fiery crash on the bridge linking New York state and Ontario the day before.
The dramatic fireball incident at 11.29am Wednesday sparked a security scare and the closure of four US-Canadian border crossings on the day before Thanksgiving.
A new image which emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows the luxury motor twisting sideways as it hurtled through the air at break-neck speed.
It was being driven by a 56-year-old Manhattan businessman with his wife in the passenger seat on their way to a KISS concert.
US federal agencies including the FBI have now confirmed the incident was not a terrorist event. The Niagara Falls PD Crash Management Unit has take on the probe.
'Due to the complexity of the incident, the investigation will take some time to complete,' the department's 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.'
The Bentley, believed to be a Flying Spur, comes in both petrol and hybrid models, and it's unclear which one this was.
Video of the crash caught on security camera and previously posted to X by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency showed the car traveling from the U.S. side at high speed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if drugs were involved.
Always wanted a flying car, but maybe not that model.
Detroit Rock city!
Flying Spur eh? Something is wrong with this story.
Run away gas pedal?
“””Video of the crash caught on security camera and previously posted to X by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency showed the car traveling from the U.S. side at high speed.”””
So now the story is that the couple was driving the car from the U.S. side.
We have had conflicting stories about this incident from the get-go as to which direction the car was traveling.
It seems the basics as to which direction the car was traveling would be the first fact.
So much for accuracy in the media these days.
Did he have information on Hillary Clinton?
They seem to have the story wrong. They say he was from Manhatten, yet previous reports stated that the business is in the Niagara Falls region, with 7 stores in the area.
The only reason I can think of that they have not given out the names is because they are or are from a VIP family...i.e. political...And I’m thinking...Why is Schumer so quiet??
From the way it burned it looked like a hybrid model. Those lithium ion battery flames have a distinctive color which the burning car appears to have.
I was just getting ready to check that out. I thought I had heard it was the opposite direction.

I thought they said the car had been stolen. Now they’re saying the couple was going to a concert.
And I'm still wondering...is the name Ahmed...or James?? Was it a suicide??? and a terrorist hit?
Terrorists MO is to create an incident to see what coms out.
Meanwhile, over at the Boar’s Nest, Boss Hogg….
“”””Now they’re saying the couple was going to a concert.””””
And earlier reports said they had gone to Ottowa only to find the KISS concert had been cancelled and then they stopped at a casino in Canada before returning to the USA.
Now that we see the photo of them going airborne on the USA side, they must have gotten a message on their smart phone that the Kiss concert was cancelled and that really pissed them off so the driver committed suicide and murder of the passenger.
DIE HARD FANS!!!!!
Lots of luxury until it exploded.
