The 5-year-old girl injured in the car accident caused by former Kansas City Chiefs linebackers coach Britt Reid is improving. According to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports, she has awoken from a coma.
Reid is the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
As Wetzel noted, the girl’s family left a message on a GoFundMe page. You can visit that page right here.
The accident occurred after Britt Reid left the Chiefs practice facility the evening of Feb. 5. Kansas City police continue to investigate the crash as a possible DUI. Reid admitted to drinking alcohol before the accident. He also told police he had been taking the prescription drug Adderall.
“Reid reportedly told police that the pickup truck he was driving hit a car that had pulled over after running out of gas, as well as another vehicle that had come to assist that vehicle,” per Pro Football Talk. “The two children were in the second vehicle.”
Reid, 35, pleaded guilty to a DUI in 2008. In the accident prior to Super Bowl LV, police reported they smelled alcohol on Reid’s breath and that his eyes were bloodshot. He reportedly underwent surgery after the crash.
The Chiefs did not renew Reid’s contract after the season.
So this dude had a prior and was drinking and taking drugs too he needs some jail time on this one didn’t realize the little girl was in a coma glad she is coming around and hopefully a full recovery.
Great news. Praying for a full recovery
Praying she makes a full recovery.
Cynical side of me: The family won’t need GFM account after they sue the living hell out of the Reid.
