A vehicle has exploded on a bridge connecting the US and Canada – with the FBI warning that the situation is “very fluid”.

The governor of New York state also confirmed there has been an incident on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls – and authorities are closely monitoring the situation.

In a statement, Governor Kathy Hochul said: “I’ve been briefed on the incident on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls and we are closely monitoring the situation.

“State agencies are on site and ready to assist.”

Local media WIVB reported earlier that all four international border crossings between the US and Canada in Western New York were closed on Wednesday due to the incident.
