Footage from the location reveals smoke and harm to the inspection/screening area that drivers navigate when entering the U.S. The bridge was shut down following a reported crash at 11:51 a.m. The crash included a fire. Patrol cars from various local police agencies, such as the Niagara Falls Police Department and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, are present at the scene.
