IN IMAGES: At least 84 killed in truck 'attack' in Nice
Images taken by witnesses of the deadly attack in Nice show the chaos and the carnage of an "attack" that has left at least 84 dead.
Officials in the French Riviera city of Nice say at least 84 people are dead after a truck rammed into a crowd on Thursday night.
Reports say the truck ploughed into a crowd marking Bastille Day celebrations on the famous Promenade des Anglais.
In the amateur Youtube video below, people panic as the truck drives through the crowd nearby.
Shocking images, many of which are too distressing to show, revealed the carnage and the trail of destruction the truck driver left behind.
