According to the documents, Reid told police he was driving a pickup truck involved in the crash and told an officer he drank between two and three drinks and was on prescription for Adderall. The station reported that no names were identified in the police report.
According to FOX4 KC, the crash occurred near the southern ramp of I-435. Police stopped a car driver in a Chevrolet Impala and called for help on the driveway. According to the police report, the hazard lights flashed, but the car’s battery started to run low when a family arrived in a Chevrolet Traverse and parked with their headlights near them.

Ariel and another 4-year-old child were the only injuries. The other child did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
While CBS Sports broadcaster Jim Nantz expressed his condolences towards the end of the Chiefs’ 31-9 defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Andy Reid was asked about the accident. The Chiefs have so far only said that they would discover more information about the accident and that the coach stayed at home.
“My heart goes out to everyone involved in the crash, especially the family with the little girl who is fighting for her life,” Reid said via ESPN. “I can not comment on it any more than I am here. The questions you have I will have to reject; but only from a human point of view my heart bleeds for all who are involved.”
Reid was also asked if the accident was a distraction.

“We posted the game plan last week. The distraction was not a distraction as far as the game plan is concerned. It was already in and how we are going to work with it and move forward,” he added. “From a human point of view, it’s a difficult point of view. From a football point of view, I do not think it was a problem.”
