The Kansas City Chiefs did not respond to a CNN request for comment.
In a statement Tuesday, the Chiefs said they were gathering information about the incident and that they would continue to assist local authorities as requested.
“Our focus remains on (the girl) and her family. We have reached out to the family to offer our support and resources to them during this difficult time, and we will continue to pray for her recovery,” the Chiefs said.
The accident
The three-vehicle accident occurred last Thursday night when police in Kansas City, Missouri, said a Chevrolet Impala was unfit on the Interstate 435 ramp, and the driver called family members for help. When the family members arrived and parked their Chevrolet Traverse near the disabled car, a Dodge Ram truck – allegedly driven by Reid – hit both vehicles.
A 4-year-old and a 5-year-old in the Traverse were transported with a 5-year-old to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The drivers of the Impala and Traverse were not injured, police said.
The driver of the Dodge Ram – who is identified by the police as Reid – is being investigated for impairment, according to the police’s incident report. Reid had previously said that Reid sustained injuries in the accident for which he had to undergo surgery.
The officer conducted a sobriety test and observed signs of impairment, the warrant said. Reid was taken to a local hospital after complaining of stomach pains.
Reid was not charged with any crime.
