Charred vehicle checked after Colquitt Fire & Rescue extinguished the flames. A fiery crash was called in to E911 Sunday evening, March 28, at approximately 8:25 p.m. The caller stated that there were injuries, and the auto was totally involved with fire.

Colquitt/ Miller County Fire and Rescue, Miller County EMS, Miller County Sheriff's Department, Georgia State Patrol and one Colquitt Police officer was dispatched to the scene on SR 45 south near Cross Sawmill.

The accident occurred when Lillian Savanna Smith, 19, was travelling north on SR 45 in a 1997 Nissan Maxima.

According to the report, Ms. Smith lost control of her vehicle and veered across the center line into the west right-of-way, across the ditch and into a field. She travelled approximately 300 yards before striking a tree with the front right side of the auto. She was only about a mile and one half from her home when the accident happened.

The auto burst into flames and burned completely, but not before the driver miraculously got out, but not before she was burned over a large portion of her body. Ms. Smith reportedly walked to a house nearby where she was taken by ambulance to the Miller County ER and then flown by helicopter to a Dothan, Alabama, hospital and then on to University of Birmingham Burn Center for treatment.

According to one of the victim's grandparents, Ms. Smith received burns over 80 percent of her body, had a broken hip and knee, kidney damage and other injuries that could not be checked at this time.

The young lady collapsed at the door of the house that she had walked to through briars and fire. Her feet had terrible burns due to walking in the fire.

Ms. Smith is in the ICU burn center, and will be there for quite awhile.

Savanna is the daughter of Hiram "Bubba" and Debbie Smith of Iron City.
