KANSAS CITY, Mo. A 5-year-old girl who was seriously injured and left in a coma after an accident this month in which Britt Kid, former assistant coach of Kansas City Chiefs, was now awake, her family said in an online report.
The news was delivered Monday in a short post on the GoFundMe page for Ariel Young, who has been hospitalized since the Feb. 4 crash.
Reid, the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, was the team’s coach off the lineout balance. He was initially placed on administrative leave immediately after the accident, but he is no longer employed by the team. His contract has expired in recent days and has not been renewed.
Kansas City police said the crash happened near the team’s training complex next to Arrowhead Stadium when Britt Reid’s truck crashed into two vehicles on the side of a highway, and Ariel and another child in one of the cars injured.
Reid was operated on for injuries not specified by the team.
Police said Reid told investigators he “had two or three drinks” and had a prescription for Adderall when the accident occurred. Police said they were investigating whether Reid was harmed.
The accident occurred three days before Kansas City played in the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay and lost to the Buccaneers. Reid did not travel with the team for the championship fight.
