A lorry has struck a crowd during Bastille Day celebrations in the southern French city of Nice, media reports and witnesses say. The incident took place on the Promenade des Anglais during a firework display, the reports said.
One image on Twitter showed about a dozen people lying on the street, some being tended to.
The local prefecture has urged people in the area to remain indoors, calling the incident "an attack".
Some reports spoke of shots being exchanged between police and the occupants of the lorry but these have not been confirmed. Social media video showed people running through the streets in panic following the incident.
A journalist with the Nice Matin newspaper reported from the scene that there was "a lot of blood and without doubt many injured". An Agence France-Presse reporter said the incident took place as the firework display was ending, adding: "We saw people hit and bits of debris flying around."
Another image on Twitter showed a white lorry stopped in the middle of the promenade with damage to its front, and four police officers observing it while taking cover behind a palm tree.

Nothing on Drudge.
Betting it’s a muzzard.
I think it was because the women there STILL refuse to wear veils...so expect more ‘encouragement’ from the ‘new arrivals’ to modify the dress code.
I thought the super duper holy month of Ramadan was over
Sacre bleu!
I don't know if it is true.
Veils? Topless is still common on the beaches in Nice - for now.
Don’t laugh - but sooner than later they’ll start claiming that Trump is PAYING for these attacks...as they are absolutely about to hand him the top job.
Do we have a name yet of the driver? Mohamed _________ ?

That’s not Nice!
WTF is a lorry? Can’t the BBC spell truck?
Since we all know that it’s evil guns that kill people, the driver of this truck clearly was not responsible for what happened. Instead, the evil truck, hopelessly addicted to high carbon diesel fuel and driven by that abased addiction, went wild, chimped out, and murdered all those innocent people.
The British word for truck is lorry.
