Was Jim Craig hockey player ever involved in car accident?

Answer 1

Yes, on May 31, 1982 he was involved in a car accident that resulted in a woman's death. He was not intoxicated. The accident happened on a wet roadway and his car crossed the center line. Here's the story from the NY Times: Jim Craig, the goaltender on the United States' gold-medal 1980 Olympic hockey team, was issued a citation today charging him with driving to endanger after an accident on a rain-slicked highway that left one woman dead and another critically injured, the police said. Margaret Curry, 29 years old, of New Bedford, Mass., a passenger in the car that was involved in a collision with Craig's car, was killed. Another passenger was hospitalized in critical condition and the driver of the other car was treated at a hospital and released. The police said there was no indication that Craig had been drinking. Craig, 24, who was alone in his car, refused medical treatment. Craig, a resident of North Easton, Mass., played with the Boston Bruin farm team at Erie, Pa., last season.
