-

Britt Reid, outside linebacker­s coach for the Chiefs and son of the head coach, Andy Reid, did not travel with the team to the Super Bowl on Saturday after he was in a threevehic­le crash Thursday night in Kansas City, Mo.

Two children were injured, and one of them, a 5yearold, suffered lifethreat­ening injuries, police said.

According to the police report, the incident occurred at 9:10 p.m. Thursday. A gray Chevy Impala ran out of gas on the southbound entrance ramp from Stadium Drive on Interstate 435. The driver called relatives for help; they arrived and parked their vehicle, a Chevy Traverse, south of the Impala with the lights on.

Police say a Ram Laramie Sport pickup truck, which Kansas City TV station KSHB reported was driven by Reid, 35, was traveling to get on the interstate. The pickup truck struck the left front of the Impala, then hit the Traverse.

The drivers of the two vehicles were not injured, but the two children, ages 4 and 5 and sitting in the back of the Traverse, needed medical attention.

According to KSHB, a police officer said they could smell “a moderate odor of alcoholic beverages” and noticed Reid’s eyes were “bloodshot and red.” Reid allegedly told police he’d consumed “two to three drinks,” KSHB reported.

Briefly: Backup Chiefs center Daniel Kilgore, a former 49er, cleared COVID19 protocol and can play . ... Left tackle Eric Fisher and linebacker Willie Gay were placed on injured reserve; wide receiver Marcus Kemp and QB Matt Moore were brought up.
