July 15, 2016 (LBO) - A truck plowed into pedestrians during Bastille Day celebrations in the popular French seaside city of Nice on Thursday, leaving at least 77 people dead in what the nation's president called "obviously a terrorist attack."
The deadly toll, which included several children, came after the truck slammed into revelers gathered on a promenade to watch fireworks, NBC News reported.
The driver of the truck was fatally shot by police, Hollande said.
