Felony DUI charge for Britt Reid

-

Former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid was charged Monday with driving while intoxicate­d resulting in serious physical injury after a crash that left a young girl critically injured.

The Jackson County (Mo.) prosecutor’s office said Reid’s blood alcohol content shortly after the Feb. 4 crash was 0.113, above the legal limit of .08. He was driving about 84 mph in a 65 mph zone seconds before his truck crashed into two cars stopped on an entrance ramp to I-435 near Arrowhead Stadium, prosecutor­s said.

One of the vehicles had stalled because its battery was dead and the second was owned by a cousin who had arrived to help, according to the charging documents.

A 5-year-old girl in the second car, Ariel Young, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her family’s attorney told The Kansas City Star on Monday that she was released from the hospital April 2 and is being treated at her home. She’s unable to talk or walk and is being fed through a feeding tube.

Reid, the son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison if convicted of the felony charge.

The Chiefs placed on administra­tive leave after the crash and his contract was allowed to expire, ending his employment with the team.
