At that point the motorcyclist fell under the wheels of the lorry. Little after 22:30 local time on Bastille Day in Nice, France, a large white lorry intentionally drove up to 2km into crowds celebrating the national holiday. With 84 dead, police responded to the vehicle driver opening fire on crowds, fatally shooting him. The driver has been identified as a 31 year old man of Franco-Tunisian origin according to papers found inside the lorry, while the anti-terror alert has been raised to its highest level in the area surrounding Nice. A second truck was later discovered and detonated by police.
