\"blalockcrash\"<\/p>\n

The husband of the victim in a fatal crash that occured when former NBA player Mookie Blaylock\u00a0 failed to keep control of his vehicle has spoken out.<\/p>\n

Blaylock crossed over the median going north on Route 19\/41 south of Atlanta. The Cadillac Escalade of Blalock hit a vehicle driven by Frankie Murphy.<\/p>\n

“Oh, no, oh no,” Murphy said he shouted, via USA Today<\/a>, before a head on collision that killed his wife.<\/p>\n

Blaylock was charged with second degree vehicular homicide, failure to maintain his lane and driving on a suspended license on Monday. Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen said Blaylock had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in Spalding County on a DUI charge and also had his license suspended.<\/p>\n

Thus far toxicology reports from Blaylock’s blood test at the hospital have not been released. Those results do not matter to Frankie Murphy whose wife Monica died as a result of Blaylock being behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

“He was driving on a suspended license. He shouldn’t have been driving at all,” Murphy said. “If he hadn’t been driving, my wife would still be here.”<\/p>\n

Monica Murphy went into cardiac arrest four times and died at the Atlanta Medical Center on Friday night. The couple had five children whose ages ranged from 5 to 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
