NICE: A truck ploughed into a crowd in the French Riviera resort of Nice, killing at least 77 and injuring scores in what president Francois Hollande Friday called a “terrorist” attack on revellers watching a Bastille Day fireworks display.

The driver was shot dead after barrelling the truck 2km through the festive crowd on the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais, sending hundreds fleeing in terror and leaving the area strewn with bodies.
