The French were celebrating Bastille Day, when the incident took place in the fifth most populous city of France on is south east coast  on the Mediterranean Sea.

Witnesses said that a white lorry drove over a crowd, who had gathered to see the fireworks as part of the celebrations.

France has declared three days of mourning.
