A truck has crashed into a crowd of revelers celebrating Bastille Day in the French city of Nice – prompting fears of terrorism, Peter Allen reports.

Horrific images depicting men and women lying on the side of a road close to the Promenade des Anglais appeared on social media.

Videos and photographs also showed thousands fleeing in panic following reports of loud explosions.

Fireworks were filling the night sky as the drama unfolded, as the crowds enjoyed July 14th, which is always a Bank Holiday in France.

The country is still under a State of Emergency following last year’s attacks on Paris, when almost 150 people were murdered by Islamic State and Al-Qaeda operatives.

Both groups are well known for driving vehicles into innocent people, prompting fears that tonight’s incident could be linked to their activities.

Bastille Day, which celebrates the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris during the French Revolution of 1789, is the country’s biggest public holiday.

Thanks for your updates ZaZara and everyone I'm sickened and disgusted too many innocent people have died over past months.
 
SKY NEWS UK 30 deceased more than 100 injured

There is concern the truck has explosives inside.
 
bfmtv reporting 30 dead and the driver is dead, fired into the crowd as it plowed through the crowd.
 
Just read the news online. Came here immediately.

While I like that we have a good group here at WS to gather together to share news on breaking stories....they are happening too often!!
 
Twitter hashtag "Bastille Day" seems to be what people are using.
 
Fox reporting 100 injured, in addition to the 30 dead (I'm assuming the numbers will be confirmed later....but the number of injured is so big! The truck must have gone directly into a huge crowd in a small space.)

🔴#ALERTE

Prosecutors in #Nice speak of about sixty dead, almost all connected with the truck that drove into the promenade des Anglais.
 
Fox reporting 100 injured, in addition to the 30 dead (I'm assuming the numbers will be confirmed later....but the number of injured is so big! The truck must have gone directly into a huge crowd in a small space.)

Truck drove 100 to 150 metres ZIGZAGGING INTO A CROWD before it was stopped.
