Nice Attacks: ‘I saw bodies flying like skittles’

The Bastille day fireworks had just ended when a large white truck drove fast and deliberately at the crowd on the Nice waterfront.

A few hours later, the 40 or so people gathered in a room for victims’ families at the Pasteur hospital in the French Riviera town had the horror of it all etched on their faces.

People cried, some holding their heads in their hands. One woman with bruises on her face sat in a wheelchair, weeping.
