[MAIL] A motorist who plowed into the Canadian border sparking terror fears was a New York businessman driving a $300,000 Bentley 'Flying Spur' with his wife in the passenger seat, it has emerged.The 56-year-old businessman and his wife, who have not been named, died when the supercar smashed into the US checkpoint and burst into flames at 11.27am. They had been at the Seneca Niagara casino resort prior to the explosion - but were only there for 'minutes', a spokesman told DailyMail.com. 'We are cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation into the incident that occurred near the Rainbow Bridge,' the spokesman said. 'We have reviewed and provided information related to a vehicle that stopped at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino only for a matter of minutes shortly before the crash occurred.' Sources within the casino said the couple were not believed to be regulars, and were possibly only in the resort to change money. They were intending on driving to a Kiss concert in Canada, CNN's John Miller reported, which was later canceled due to a bandmember suffering from flu. Miller said there was some speculation the driver, from a well-known family in Grand Isle, New York, had a medical issue.
