New York police on Friday identified the man and woman who were killed when their car crashed and burst into flames on the bridge linking New York state and Ontario at Niagara Falls, sparking a Thanksgiving eve security scare.
Niagara Falls police said Kurt and Monica Villani, both 53 and from Grand Island, New York, were the occupants of the car. The incident was still under investigation by the Niagara Falls police Crash Management unit on Friday.
A CBP officer suffered minor injuries at the crash site, was treated at a nearby hospital and later released, an agency official said.
The incident immediately raised concerns of a terrorist attack, prompting the closure of four U.S.-Canadian border crossings in the area on Wednesday and a halt on international flights at Buffalo International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
An initial investigation by U.S. federal agencies, including the FBI, found it was not terrorism-related.
CNN reported the driver was intending to see the rock group KISS in concert in Canada, but when the concert was canceled, he went to a casino in the U.S. instead. The crash occurred sometime after the couple left the casino, CNN reported, citing investigator sources.
