Former NBA star on life support after Clayton County wreck By Alexis Stevens The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Former NBA star and Hawks player Mookie Blaylock was one of two people critically injured Friday afternoon in a head-on collision in Clayton County, according to police. 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. Blaylocks 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. Blaylock played 13 seasons in the NBA, including with the Atlanta Hawks from 1992 to 1999. http://m.ajc.com/news/news/former-nba-star-on-life-support-after-clayton-coun/nX8Kb/

Not too far from my stomping grounds here in Henry county. Sad to hear this. Mookie is definitely one of my favorite Hawks.

I wonder if he might have had a heart attack, stroke, etc. prior to crossing over to the other side of the highway.

Anyway, prayers for all those injured in the accident.
