A witness claims the terrorist truck driver shouted "Allahu Akbar" before running over 100 people in Nice, France.

The local president of the region, Christian Estrosi, said the truck was "loaded with arms and grenades."

From RT:

Dozens of people have been killed and many more were injured after a truck plowed into a crowd in Nice, France during Bastille Day celebrations.

The local police prefect has confirmed that least 30 people were dead and over 100 were injured in the crash, Reuters reported, citing BFM TV.

Sebastien Humbert, the perfect for the Alpes-Maritime area, detailed the circumstances of the crash, explaining the high number of casualties to BFM.

"A truck rammed into the crowd over a long distance, which explains this extremely heavy toll," he said.

BFM also said that authorities have classified the the incident as an “attack.”

“There are people in blood, probably full of wounded,” a reporter for the Nice Matin newspaper said.

According to an eyewitness report cited by BFM, the driver of the truck shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” before the attack.

Witnesses reported that the truck that drove into the crowd was watching the fireworks celebration of Bastille Day. Photos emerged on social media showing injured people lying on the ground en masse.

President of the Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region Christian Estrosi said on Twitter that “dozens” of people were been killed in the incident.

Local media has dubbed the incident an act of terror, reporting at least 50 fatalities. No official confirmation has been released so far.

The truck was allegedly loaded with "arms and grenades."

Donald Trump, once again, is the only voice of sanity.

Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2016

Right now he's on Fox News saying it's a "different world" and we need to close our borders and "not let people into our country."

"Generally speaking I don't think the people [committing such attacks] come out of Sweden," Trump said.

"It only takes one or two people to create havoc."
