Britt Reid, who was placed on administrative leave while under contract, is no longer with the Kansas City Chiefs since his contract expired, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday night.
Reid, the son of head coach Andy Reid, was previously the Chiefs’ lineout coach from the outside. The team announced Tuesday that Britt Reid has been placed on administrative leave following his involvement in an accident involving several vehicles last Thursday.
Reid was involved in a collision with multiple vehicles last Thursday night that left a 5-year-old girl in a critical condition with a brain injury, according to the media unit of the Kansas City (Missouri) police.
The crash occurred when, according to the KCPD, a gray Chevy Impala, which was running out of gas, was stopped on the southern driveway to I-435 from Stadium Drive near Arrowhead Stadium. A Chevy Traverse parked, with its lights on, near the Impala to provide assistance. A ram pickup truck, which Britt Reid admitted to police he was driving, was driving on the driveway, hit on the left side of the Impala and then on the back of the Traverse.
A 5-year-old sitting in the back seat of the Traverse was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and a 4-year-old who is also sitting in the back seat was transported with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. The driver of the Traverse and the adult passenger in the front seat did not sustain any injuries, nor did the Impala driver.
KCPD is investigating the cause of the crash and Britt Reid’s involvement and noted that most investigations take several weeks.
Britt Reid is not traveling with the Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida.
After the defeat of the Chiefs on Sunday, Andy Reid briefly addressed the situation, but said he could not elaborate on the situation.
