According to article I just read, he's in critical condition now. So, he's been upgraded.
 
Sad to hear that passenger in other vehicle, Monica Murphy, has passed away. Prayers to her family.
 
Ex-NBA star Blaylock faces charges in fatal crash

JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say former NBA All-Star Daron "Mookie" Blaylock has been charged with vehicular homicide in a head-on crash in suburban Atlanta.

Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen says the 46-year-old Blaylock is also charged with driving on a suspended license and failure to maintain his lane in the Friday crash.

Police say Blaylock was driving an SUV that crossed the center line and struck a van. A van passenger, 43-year-old Monica Murphy, died hours later. Her husband survived.

Atlanta Medical Center spokeswoman Nicole Gustin said Blaylock was in fair condition Monday. He initially was on life support.

Allen says police are working to determine the cause and that alcohol doesn't appear to be a factor. Blaylock told investigators he blacked out just before the wreck. It's unclear if he has an attorney.

Blaylock played 13 NBA seasons, with New Jersey, Atlanta and Golden State.

I read in an article a few days back Mookie is on some kind of anti-seizure medication or something. Either that med caused him to blackout or something happened which the med is supposed to prevent, I would just bet.

Still doesn't explain why he's driving with a suspended license. Surely he won't serve jail time for this, especially if alcohol or illegal drugs weren't involved.

Sad situation.
