"Accelerated to a high speed" would be even better.

Since the original was "at", I wonder if they simply meant "accelerated rapidly".

Well, if the rate of acceleration was also changing, that's a different kettle of fish.

I don't know that it needs to change. 2 m/s/s is more rapid than 1 m/s/s. Saying one is accelerating rapidly suggest that the x in x m/s/s is large.

The two who died were a married couple - the husband was driving and his wife was the passenger, US law enforcement officials said.

According to CNN, the motorist was driving a 2022 Bentley and had just been to a US casino after a concert by hard rock band KISS that he was initially going to attend in Canada had been cancelled.

[I guess he took the news pretty hard.]

"Accelerated to a high rate of speed" would be much preferable.

“High rate of speed” is the redundancy; “speed” is a rate unto itself.

Rainbow Bridge: Police identify couple killed in US-Canada border crash​

Kurt Villani and his wife Monica Villani, both 53, died when their car became airborne and crashed on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls.

They lived 10 miles (16km) south of the crash site in Grand Island, New York.

He added that police are investigating several possibilities behind the crash, including whether the car suffered a mechanical failure that caused it to accelerate.

According to CNN, the motorist was driving a 2022 Bentley

Bentley recalled cars because accelerators were getting stuck two years before Niagara Falls crash that killed Kurt and Monica Villani in their 2022 Flying Spur​

A Bentley spokesperson told The New York Times the recall did not apply to the Mr. Villani's vehicle, since it was only relevant to right-hand cars issued in Europe and Australia [and a different model year].

How Fox Went From Car Crash to Terrorist Attack to Train Wreck in a Matter of Hours​

However, things took a turn when Fox aired statements from their reporter, Alexis McAdams, claiming a high-level police source described the explosion as a terrorist attack, stating the vehicle contained 'a lot of explosives.' Subsequently, Fox escalated their coverage, devoting all their attention to the incident, largely based on this single source.

Fox News guest Aaron Cohen joined the broadcast and was asked what he made of the incident. Cohen said, 'Well, what I'm seeing here is what Khamenei of Iran, the Ayatollah, has been calling for over the last 40 days. The same thing with Hezbollah leader Nasrallah. They're calling for a systematic global jihad with everybody who stands with Hamas' ideology. I'm not surprised that this terror attack that's gone public here…' Cohen added that he doesn’t believe in coincidences and the alleged attack on the bridge might be part of something larger.

I wonder how many RW "news" outlets and Twitter influencer have walked back their initial, breathless histrionics about this being terrorism.

Worse are the ones who haven't.
