The team said in a statement that they were “gathering information on the incident, and we will continue to assist local authorities as requested.” Britt Reid is the son of Andy Reid, head coach.
According to the Chiefs, their focus remains on the 5-year-old girl and her family, according to their statement.
“We have reached out to the family to offer them our support and resources during this difficult time, and we will continue to pray for her recovery,” the statement said.
Verhulst said in a report on Tuesday that the girl had not yet regained consciousness.
The three-vehicle accident occurred 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. His family members showed up and parked their Chevrolet Traverse south of the disabled car.
A Dodge Ram truck allegedly driven by Reid then 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 sustained injuries in the accident for which he had to undergo surgery, his father said Monday.
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.
According to the search warrant, a computer check carried out by the police revealed that Reid ‘already had several previous DUI contacts’. Police have asked permission from a judge to collect blood from Reid to investigate.
As a result of the accident, Reid did not travel with the Chiefs to Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa. The Chiefs lost 31-9.
