Did a mechanical failure cause the deadly Niagara Falls bridge crash?

Police are using 3D scanning technology to investigate the cause of the deadly vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. The couple, Kurt P. and Monica Villani, were on their way to a concert in Toronto when their 2022 Bentley suddenly exploded. The FBI and other agencies quickly ruled out terrorism and are now focusing on the possibility of a mechanical failure or medical incident. The vehicle's Event Data Recorder, similar to an aircraft's black box, could provide vital information about what happened. Surveillance footage shows the car speeding before hitting a curb, becoming airborne, and then bursting into flames. The mayor of Niagara Falls mentioned that the Bentley was an older model and may have experienced a mechanical glitch, causing it to accelerate. The investigation is expected to take time, as it is described as a "monumental task." The couple, both age 53, were remembered as hardworking individuals with close ties to their community.
