Former Atlanta Hawks and NBA star Mookie Blaylock turned himself into authorities Monday morning after being released from the hospital following a fatal car crash that killed one person in Clayton County, Georgia.

Blaylock was driving his black 2010 Cadillac Escalade in Jonesboro, a city in Clayton County, on May 31 when he allegedly blacked out behind the wheel and crossed over the median into a head-on collision with a minivan.

Frankie and Monica Murphy, the two people inside the van, were both injured and airlifted along with Blaylock to Atlanta Medical Center.

Blaylock was initially put on life support following the horrific crash but was later upgraded to stable condition that evening.

Later that night, just before 10:00 p.m., Monica Murphy passed away from internal bleeding. Surgery was attempted but was unsuccessful. Her husband, Frankie, sustained a broken ankle and was released from the hospital after undergoing treatment.

Blaylock is charged with second degree vehicular homicide, along with driving under a suspended license, making an improper lane change, crossing the median and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Blaylock was picked by the Nets with the 12th overall selection in the 1989 draft and spent his first three seasons in New Jersey. He was traded to the Hawks prior to the ’92–’93 campaign and played seven seasons in Atlanta before finishing his career as a reserve with the Golden State Warriors.

Mookie played in the 1994 NBA All-Star Game as a member of the Hawks. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in three-point field goals made (1,050), three-point field goal attempts (3,023) and steals (1,321). He set Atlanta’s single-season franchise records for three-pointers made (231) and attempted (623) in 1995–96.
