Vehicle plows into crowd on Bourbon St., with 14 fatalities

I couldn't quite grasp it. So he made the sudden move to pass up the vehicle that was blocking the street and went around jumping -- pretty easily -- the corner he hadn't passed yet? I wasn't sure also if he hit that vehicle but he must have I guess? And then got another 3 blocks past.
Looks like he turned from Canal to entrance of Bourbon which usually isn't blocked off by any serious barricades.
