Mookie Blaylock Faces At Least 2 Charges In Fatal Crash

Daron “Mookie” Blaylock, the former NBA All-Star who played for the Atlanta Hawks in the 1990s, is hospitalized and faces two charges after a fatal crash in suburban Atlanta, police said Sunday.

 

Police Chief Franklin Allen (Jonesboro, Ga.) said Blaylock is charged with driving on a suspended license and failing to stay in his lane. Allen says officers haven’t been able to talk with Blaylock yet because of injuries suffered in the wreck, but they hope to do so as early as Monday. The chief says that interview and talks with prosecutors will determine whether Blaylock will face other charges.

Police say Blaylock was driving an SUV that collided head-on with a van Friday. The crash killed a 43-year-old woman, Monica Murphy. Murphy’s husband, Frankie, was driving the van.
