The Rainbow Bridge border crossing between Canada and the United States has reopened after a lengthy closure caused by a deadly vehicle explosion Wednesday.
The crossing reopened at 6:30 p.m., border officials announced.
According to officials, a vehicle sped down the road leading up to a border checkpoint before leaving the roadway, crossing a median and becoming airborne.
The incident was initially being treated as terrorism, but officials later said they are treating it as a traffic incident.
In a statement Thursday, the Niagara Falls Police Department said the investigation is now being handled by its Crash Management Unit.
"Due to the complexity of the incident, the investigation will take some time to complete," the force said.
