A Georgia College student was unloading her car in a designated area when she was hit by another driver

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — A Georgia College & State University student is hospitalized with serious injuries after she was hit while unloading her car Sunday.

Georgia State Patrol says that a Chevrolet Cruze driven by 18-year-old Patrick Smith, of McDonough, was going east on Montgomery Street.

He told GSP that he 'blacked out' and sideswiped a parked Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape and Honda HR-V that were all parked in marked parking stalls.

22-year-old Bailey Berkner, of Macon, was hit while standing at the left rear door of her HR-V when Smith sideswiped the vehicles.

Berkner was airlifted to the Medical Center in Macon with serious injuries.

Smith was taken to Navicent Baldwin with a complaint of an injury.

Charges against Smith are pending and drugs/alcohol are NOT suspected to be a cause of the crash, according to Georgia State Patrol.

Berkner is confirmed to be a current Georgia College student, per the university's director of public affairs.
