Witnesses Say Truck in Nice Came Straight at Fleeing People
NICE (Sputnik) — On Thursday night, a truck plowed into a crowd of people watching fireworks during Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, France, killing at least 84 people and injuring dozens of others.

"French police have not confirmed the information about this woman's death, who was previously reported dead. Although, police do not disprove it either. Her parents hope she is alive," Molchanov told RIA Novosti adding that two other women from Russia are currently in a hospital.

According to identification documents found inside the truck, the driver was a 31-year-old of Tunisian origin who lived in Nice. No group has yet claimed the responsibility for the attack in Nice.
