This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police have identified the victims of a deadly car blast at a border crossing between the US and Canada.
It is still unclear what caused the couple's vehicle to rapidly accelerate before it flew through the air and burst into flames.
The mayor of Niagara Falls in New York, Robert Restaino, told the New York Times on Thursday that the couple had been driving an older Bentley vehicle and were on their way to a concert in Canada, thought to be a Kiss show that was later cancelled due to illness in the band.
He added that police are investigating several possibilities behind the crash, including whether the car suffered a mechanical failure that caused it to accelerate.
Gov Hochul said the car travelled at a "very high rate of speed", hurtling over an 8ft (2.4m) fence on the New York side of the border near a checkpoint.
The case was then handed over to the Niagara Falls Police Department in New York State which is handling it as a traffic investigation.
