The victims of a horrific crash that occurred at the Canadian border in New York on Wednesday were both local residents known for their charitable nature.
The $300,000 Bentley that crashed and exploded on a Niagara Falls bridge connecting the US and Canada Wednesday may have been suffering from mechanical issues that caused it to accelerate very quickly and hop a fence before colliding into a border crossing booth.
