A tragic car crash on the bridge connecting the U.S. to Canada at Niagara Falls is still under investigation. A couple were killed in the resulting Rainbow Bridge explosion.
Kurt P. Villani and his wife, Monica Villani, both 53, from Grand Island, New York lost their lives in the incident. On Wednesday their vehicle slammed into the U.S.-Canada border crossing, exploding into a fiery inferno.
UPDATE: It has been confirmed the couple were on their way to see a KISS concert.
The Niagara Falls Police Department spearheads the investigation through their Crash Management Unit. Although they, released the identities of the victims on Friday, other details are not being released until the investigations are complete.
The FBI, swift to respond, ruled out terrorism, stating there was no evidence of explosive materials at the scene.

Investigations into the Rainbow Bridge Explosion
The Department of Homeland Security, after conducting exhaustive database queries, confirmed that neither Kurt nor Monica Villani had a criminal history.
The couple was well-known in the community and owned Gui's Lumber in Niagara Falls. The Villani family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support in a statement to ABC News. They also requested privacy to navigate the challenging journey of healing.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul echoed the FBI's findings. She says there is no indication of terrorism. Hochul assured the public that there was no indication of explosives at the scene.
And emphasized that the incident was under extensive investigation.
The crash, which temporarily disrupted international arrivals and departures at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and other border crossings, triggered heightened security measures.
The Peace, Queenston-Lewiston, and Whirlpool-Rapids bridges, affected by the incident, resumed normal operations on Thursday evening after a comprehensive investigation by the bomb squad.
As the community grapples with the shock of the Rainbow Bridge crash, the Villani family, along with their extended families, appreciates the support and kind words during this difficult time. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of coming together in times of tragedy.
