WASHINGTON (AP) ― Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife and daughter are recovering in a Washington-area hospital after a car accident.
A spokesman for Reid says the majority leader's wife, Landra, and their daughter, Lana, were injured Thursday when their vehicle was rear-ended. Reid left the Senate for the hospital. The spokesman says details are unclear.

Yes, but that was posted before the update about their condition. That’s why I questioned it.
Fox said he was already back to health care meetings.
If I and my child both broke our necks and my husband rushed back to work, there would be Hell to pay in our household. Does he even have a soul?
Priorities have been revealed folks.....once again.
Update: Crash leaves Reid's wife with broken neck, back
It sounds like they are receiving good care and will survive.
How many hours before he uses them in the healthcare debate?
No doubt. But Harry knows. And he's chosen his priorities. Which one of us would--could!--leave our wife and daughter at a time like that? They are not ferrets you drop off at the vet.
WIFE HAS A BTOKEN NOSE, NECK AND BACK.
Harry Reid was tested. He was given a choice between being with his family in their time of need, or pursing 0bama’s evil agenda to deprive Americans of their healthcare.
He made his choice, and he will reap its consequences.
Kennedy is probably one of the very few who could be rejected from HELL for drinking & driving.
THEY WERE REAR-ENDED BY A TRUCK, I THINK.
Sorry to hear this kind of news about a family!
“Update: Crash leaves Reid’s wife with broken neck, back

But thank goodness, he’s back to work for the American people! Hate to have an inconvenience like a semi hitting your wife and child delay health care reform. (He’s already back in meetings on Capitol Hill.)
“Fox said he was already back to health care meetings.
If I and my child both broke our necks and my husband rushed back to work, there would be Hell to pay in our household. Does he even have a soul?
Priorities have been revealed folks.....once again.”
My feelings exactly, what is he some sort of demon?
Sorry this makes me emotional.
ISN’T MASSA IN DE COLD, COLD GROUN’?
Exactly. There but for the grace of God go I.
Reid is pure evil. A couple years from now, he will likely leave his wife.
“But thank goodness, he’s back to work for the American people! Hate to have an inconvenience like a semi hitting your wife and child delay health care reform. (He’s already back in meetings on Capitol Hill.)”
I’m sorry but I can’t wrap my mind around the seemingly insensitivity of this man.
Damn. They should check her for Osteoperosis.
It takes a hell of a hit from behind to break a persons back. I wish her well.
OK.
Frankly, but sadly, I’m suspicious of anything that revolves around the scoundrels Harry Reid and the demrat party.
Could this be a sympathy play like the one The Breck Girl tried to pull off with his wife’s alleged cancer? While, by the way, he was screwing another woman.
It makes me emotional too. And frightened that heartless, soulless men who show callousness towards their own kin would be making decisions that have such effect on our generations to come.
If he shows so little care for his wife and child, how much less does he care for......me? Or you?
The semi hit them from behind and pushed them into the car in front. Many rear-end collision cause broken necks - the “broken back” part could just be 2 inches below that. Just thinkin......
A fully loaded tractor-trailer. Traffic was slowing down...the trucker was not.
He’s in big trouble.
Yes, we are all vulnerable. I pray that they are all right.
Apparently she got sandwiched. Semi from the rear, crushed into the car ahead of her. Sounds terrible.
But, his hair was PERFECT!
I wonder if Obama is going to call Harry and say “Maybe this is one of those instances where they should just take a pain pill.”
IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE GOT THAT HIT. THE VAN WAS CRUSHED. THEY ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.
Reid doesn’t care, why should we? His goon bureaucrats would probaly turn us down for care...yet we are forced to pay for his family.
I wish his wife and daughter well and hope thay will be rid of this scum sooner rather than later.
Believe me folks, if it was all that bad for them, he would have used sympathy rather than heading back to Capitol Hill.
He stepped on a crack
and broke his wifes back
Damn him
Distraction is a good thing for Harry Reid. His son has filed papers to run for governor. *shudder*
Oof.
Harry’s still a weenie, but nobody deserves that.
Red or blue?
I’m sorry to hear this. Prayers for their speedy recovery.
Hope they’ll be okay.

I think he meant Darrel Chaney. He helped defeat the evil Red Sox in 1975.
I feel for the women in more ways than one. They probably don’t deserve Dingy Harry either.
Asked whether Reid had considered skipping the meeting and staying at the hospital, Manley responded, "Let's be clear, for those who may know, he loves that woman more than life itself. But she's in good hands at the hospital and [he] felt the need to come back and work on this piece of legislation ...."
What partner does that??? ..goes right back to work???? I don't care if the Spokesman says for Reid.."she's in good hands"!! It's just the worry factor, that keeps a loved one close in such a time. Who could concentrate when a daughter and spouse have been in an accident to any degree of injury.
I don't say this for just Reid, would say the same for any member of any party.
Just my opinion, but then I am not a "politician", a different breed of animal, I guess.
I hope for a good recovery of the Reids.
They’re reading our thread ;) Shep just reported Reid’s on his way back to make his second visit!
I do too. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
I almost feel as though posters here care more about them than their own family. I’m sad they got hurt, and even sadder they were abandoned at the hospital for a meeting on healthcare. Shameless and sad.
I’m interested in the semi. Was it one of those allowed into the US from Mexico? Or is the driver here legally?
Just wonderin’...
He should never have left them. He is a POS and it is too late.
Stealing our healthcare is more important than his wife and daughter. This SOS should be dropped off of free taxpayer funded healthcare.
Visited them??? Why'd he even bother?? What a robot!
DANG!
Prayers up for Reid and his family.
What a skunk!
Now I feel doubly sorry for his wife and daughter.
Whoa- Shep just came on and said his wife is in serious condition.
