Britt Reid, assistant linebackers coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and the son of head coach Andy Reid, was involved in a horrific car crash that sent two children in the hospital, one of whom suffered “life-threatening injuries,” per a report.
According to the report, a car ran out of gas which prompted the driver to call relatives for help. A second car would eventually show up and parked on the on-ramp.
The report goes on to say that Britt Reid came along and struck the disabled vehicle and then slammed into the rear of the second vehicle, where the 5-year-old child was in the backseat along with a 4-year-old child. Both were sent to the hospital, and the five-year old reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries, while the four year old’s injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The Kansas City Chiefs put out a statement:
“The organization has been made aware of a multi-vehicle accident involving Outside Linebackers Coach, Britt Reid,” the Chiefs said in a statement Friday. “We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.”
