Of more than 30 people injured, 16 remained hospitalized, half of them in intensive care units as of Friday.

Dr. Jeffrey Elder of University Medical Center in New Orleans told CNN that most of the hospital’s patients were treated for “blunt trauma,” while a few patients had gunshot wounds.

Here’s what we know about the survivors.

Jeremi Sensky, 51, of Pennsylvania, told NBC News he was in his wheelchair when he was struck.

Sensky said he had been paralyzed since 1999 and his “wheelchair was completely broken” with pieces scattered about.

He said both his legs were broken but he was lucky to be alive. He remembers lying on the ground and seeing parts of his wheelchair next to him.

Alexis Scott-Windham, an Alabama resident, was shot in the foot and has multiple fractures, NOLA.com reported.

Her friends called her mother for help while she was bleeding on Bourbon Street, and her mother told them to give her a tourniquet to control her blood flow, NBC News reported.

She described what happened to WSAZ and said she was also hit by the speeding truck.

“The next thing you know, we hear a lot of screaming, and we hear a noise going pop, pop, pop. And the next thing you know, I’m looking to the left so fast. I see a car coming towards me. He had his lights out,” she said.

“As he got closer, I said, ‘No, it can’t be a drunk driver because he would have wrecked by now.’ Honestly, he was going about 70 mph. He was trying to hit as many people as possible.”

Two Israeli reservists were also injured and wish to keep their names confidential. The men, both in their 20s, were granted war leave from Hamas and decided to travel to the United States as tourists, an Israeli diplomat told Fox News Digital.

Two New Orleans Police Department officers were also injured and are both expected to make a full recovery, NOPD attorney Eric Hessler, a former NOPD officer, told Fox News Digital.

The two officers, whose identities have not been released, were on their way to an unrelated call early New Year’s morning when “the vehicle flew over them and hit the crane,” Hessler said.

Street camera video from the morning of the attack shows a group of officers standing near Bourbon Street immediately running toward danger when a call came in about a suspicious vehicle incident.

Eight victims remain in the intensive care unit at University Medical Center (UMC), NOLA.com reported.

Elder told the outlet that those who sought medical attention at UMC had injuries ranging from severe head injuries and lacerated spleens to gunshot grazes and multiple fractures.

Before his rampage in New Orleans, Jabbar posted several videos on Facebook declaring his support for the Islamic State (IS), the FBI said.

Thirteen of the 14 victims who died in the attack have been identified: Nikyra Dedeaux, 18; Hubert Gauthreaux, 21 years old; Kareem Bilal Badawi, 23 years old; Billy DiMaio, 25; Matthew Tenedorio, 25 years old; Drew Dauphin, 26; Martin “Tiger” Bech, 27; Nicole Pérez, 28 years old; Edward Pettifer, 31; Reggie Hunter, 37; Elliot Wilkinson, 40; Brandon Taylor, 43; and Terrence Kennedy, 63.
