France’s national holiday turned ugly for revelers Thursday night in the southern city of Nice, as a truck reportedly crashed into a crowd of Bastille Day revelers, killing dozens of people.
“Dear people of Nice, the driver of a truck appears to have caused tens of deaths. Stay for the moment in your home. More info to come,” Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said, according to a Washington Times translation of his tweet.
The chief of the province’s police force described the events as “an attack” and, according to FranceTVInfo, “asked that Nice people remain cloistered.”
Multiple videos posted showed people fleeing in panic, though the crash itself wasn’t shown.
