One eye-witness, Jan Hollitzer, 36, told the Press Association: "First, I heard a noise, then he destroyed the booths on the market and we heard some screams, and then the truck came out of the market on the left side.

"I moved forward and saw the back of the truck - it was a lorry. There were some people under the truck and it was really scary, really terrifying. I moved on the street to see the front of the truck, which was destroyed."

Emma Rushton, another eye-witness, told Sky News: "We heard a massive bang. About eight to 10 feet in front of us was where the lorry ploughed through. It ploughed through the stall where we bought our mulled wine.

"It ploughed through people and the wooden huts, it tore the lights down. Everything went dark, it was black and there was screaming. It was awful. People were tearing off wooden panels to get out."

The driver of the lorry initially fled the scene but was caught by police. A passenger inside the lorry died.
