Witness described the horrifying scene after officials say a man intentionally drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more. The driver died after exchanging gunfire with police, the FBI said.
Witnesses told CBS News reporter Kati Weis that a white truck crashed into people at high speed, leaving a path of carnage and distraught onlookers.
Jim and Nicole Mowrer, visiting from Des Moines, Iowa, told CBS News they had watched the city's fireworks display and were enjoying the New Year's Day atmosphere in the French Quarter when they heard crashing noises coming from down the street. They said they then saw a white truck slam through a barricade "at a high rate of speed."
