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.

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.

Blaylock played 13 seasons in the NBA, including with the Atlanta Hawks from 1992 to 1999. Address records show Blaylock, whose real name is Daron, lives in Zebulon in Pike County.
