Former NBA All-Star Daron “Mookie” Blaylock is in critical condition following a head-on collision in an Atlanta suburb on Friday afternoon. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Blaylock, 46, was driving northbound on Tara Boulevard when for unknown reasons, he crossed over the median and into a southbound lane, Jonesboro police Chief Franklin Allen told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Blaylock’s vehicle struck another vehicle head-on, injuring two people, whose names were not released, and himself, Franklin said.
All three were transported to Atlanta Medical Center, where Blaylock was on life support and unresponsive, Franklin said. A female passenger in the second vehicle was bleeding internally, he said.
The Hawks are reportedly aware of the situation. Blaylock spent 13 seasons in the NBA, seven in Atlanta, before retiring in 2002.
