An Auburn student was seriously injured along West Magnolia Avenue on Tuesday night after being hit by another student driving a pickup truck, according to Police Chief Paul Register.
The pedestrian accident occurred near the intersection of West Magnolia Avenue and Cox Street, where a 27-year-old female student was crossing the street at about 8 p.m.
She remains hospitalized in unsatisfactory condition at Midtown Medical Center in Columbus, Georgia, Register said.
"It was significant injuries, but I think she was alert when she was transported," Register said. "At this point, we're not aware of any change in her status. It was some serious injuries."
The driver of the pickup truck was a 20-year-old male student, who stayed at the scene following the accident and cooperated with police. He wasn't injured.
"He did what motorists should do when they're involved in something like that," Register said.
The Auburn Police Division is investigating the accident, the cause of which remains unknown.
