Dr. Jeffrey Elder of the University of New Orleans Medical Center told CNN that most of the hospital's patients were treated for “blunt force trauma,” but several patients had gunshot wounds.
Here's what we know about the survivors.
Jeremi Censki, 51, from Pennsylvania, told NBC News that he was in a wheelchair when he was hit.
Sensky, who has been paralyzed since 1999, said his wheelchair was “completely smashed into” and was littered with debris.
Although both legs were broken, he was lucky to be alive. He remembered that he was lying on the ground and there were parts of a wheelchair next to him.
Alexis Scott Windham, an Alabama resident, was shot in the leg and suffered multiple fractures, NOLA.com reported.
As she lay bleeding on Bourbon Street, her friends called for help from her mother, who told her to create a tourniquet to slow the blood flow, NBC News reported.
She explained to WSAZ what happened and also said that she was hit by a speeding truck.
“The next thing I know, I hear a lot of screaming and I hear a pop, pop, pop noise. And the next thing I know, I quickly look to my left and see a car coming towards me. I could see he had his car, “lights out,'' she said.
“He came up to me and I said, 'No, this can't be a drunk driver, he would have been in a wreck by now.' He was about to attack.”

Two Israeli reservists were also wounded, but asked not to be named. An Israeli diplomat told Fox News Digital that the men, all in their mid-to-late 20s, had been granted leave from the Hamas war and decided to travel to the United States as tourists.
