At least 84 people have been killed after a truck slammed into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice.


The driver of the truck that smashed into a crowd watching fireworks in the French Riviera city of Nice, killing at least 84, has been formally identified, police sources said Friday.

He is a 31-year-old Franco-Tunisian man whose identity papers were found in the vehicle after the attack on France's July 14 national holiday.

Police shot the driver dead after he drove the truck two kilometres (1.3 miles) through a crowd along the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais.

Three Australians have been injured following what appeared to be a terrorist attack in the French city of Nice, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says.

"They have suffered minor injuries, seeking to flee the scene, to get away from the scene," she told reporters in Perth on Friday.
