Sources say two people were killed in a vehicle explosion Wednesday afternoon at Rainbow Bridge, a U.S.-Canada border crossing near Niagara Falls, in western New York. Officials said four U.S.-Canada border crossings in the region were closed as investigators responded to the situation. Three crossings later reopened, with Rainbow Bridge remaining closed.
Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to CBS News two people died inside the vehicle that exploded. A senior law enforcement official told CBS News that the nationalities of the two people who died are not yet known.
