'Truck was travelling at 60-70km per hour'
A local Nice Matin journalist on the scene reported: “People ran, there was panic. He drove onto the promenade and ploughed into the crowd. There is a huge amount of blood and without doubt a lot of people have been hurt.”
A witness who gave his name as Antoine said: “We were at the Neptune beach and a firework display had just finished. That is when we saw a white lorry. It was going quickly at 60-70 kilometres an hour.”

'You need to go, the police have told us to run'
Colin Srivastava told BBC News: "We were basically sitting just in front of the Old Town in Nice and saw several hundred people running towards us looking panic stricken.
"We tried to ask a few of them what the hell was going on and finally got one that said, 'You need to go, the police have told us to run'.
"Just around about the base of the hill where the castle is in Nice the police came running along and said, 'Run now'.
"We had absolutely no idea what was going on, to be honest with you.
"When we got down into the port in Nice we were told by a few people who'd obviously run faster than we had that there was the story of a lorry that had gone into the people, basically cannoned into the crowd, and there were also shots fired, which is something we didn't hear about until just now on French news."
