A truck crashed into a crowd of revelers Thursday night during a Bastille Day celebration in the southern French town of Nice, killing at least 73 people and wounding dozens of others.
The celebrations quickly turned to chaos as the truck ploughed through a crowd at the Promenade des Anglais during the end of a fireworks show.
The driver was shot dead by police, said Pierre-Henry Brandet, a spokesman for French Interior Ministry.
Sylvie Toffin, a press officer with the local prefecture, said the truck “hit several people on a long trip” down the sidewalk near Nice’s Palais de la Méditerranee, a building which fronts the beach.
We should probably import tens of thousands of refugees who despise our culture.
