This clip features the horrific moment when a truck ploughed into a group of pedestrians in Nice, France, as they celebrated Bastille Day last night.

A gunman ploughed a heavy truck into the crowds killing at least 84 people and injuring scores more.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said 18 of the injured were in a critical condition after the 25-tonne truck zigzagged along the seafront Promenade des Anglais as a fireworks display marking the French national day ended just after 10.30 pm. The driver was shot dead by police.
