According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution:
Blaylock, 46, was driving a Cadillace Escalade 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.
As of the most recent update Mookie was still unresponsive. Let’s all hope and pray for a miracle for him and his family. We will provide further updated when they become available.
