Derek Fisher, former Lakers player, accused of DUI following crash

LOS ANGELES >> Former Lakers player and ex-New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher was arrested Sunday on suspicion of drunken driving after he flipped his vehicle on the 101 Freeway, authorities said.

Neither Fisher nor his passenger, girlfriend and former “Basketball Wives” reality star Gloria Govan, was injured in the early morning crash, the California Highway Patrol said.

Fisher was driving on the 101 in Sherman Oaks when his 2015 Cadillac veered onto the right shoulder while approaching an interchange. The car hit the shoulder’s concrete curb and guardrail, overturned and came to a rest on its roof, blocking two lanes of the highway, the CHP said.
