The French police have presented information on the truck which ploughed into crowd in Nice.

The police are conducting an investigation to find out whether the document found in the truck belongs to the terrorist who was behind the steering wheel of this vehicle, reported Le Figaro newspaper of France.

“The truck was able to approach the English coast, which the police are patrolling, and he [i.e. the terrorist] drove along the coast for about 2 kilometers, where vehicle traffic is prohibited.

Ploughing into the crowd, the truck constantly changed direction. It is apparent that he [i.e. the terrorist] attempted to cause as much damage as possible,” wrote the newspaper.
