Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was taken to a hospital on Friday afternoon after a multiple-car crash in Nevada.
The extent of his injuries is unknown although Nevada Highway Patrol public information officer Loy Hixson said Reid's injuries did not appear to be life threatening, according to CNN.
The crash occurred on Interstate 15, according to Las Vegas's KTNV, which runs near the Las Vegas strip.
It happened around 1 p.m. local time and involved multiple cars, including two Metro vehicles, two Capital Police vehicles and two civilian vehicles, according to local Fox affiliate KVVU-TV.
Officers on the scene described it as a chain-reaction crash, according to the Associated Press.
As a member of the Congressional leadership, Reid gets protection from Capitol Police, some of whose vehicles were involved in the crash.
Reid, 72, was taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“Reid had more security assigned to him in Vegas than our ambassador in Libya.”
Post of the day!!
ummm, that could be interpreted many ways... I accept the notion that it could mean that he is rendered unfit for office due to health conditions... King David prayed for for the destruction of his enemies, may I assume you follow King Davids prayer model?
What about the people in the “civilian” cars ?
I’m trying to think of something nice to say and nothing comes to mind except
God Bless the USA
I know what a lot of us are thinking, but let’s try to keep it classy. Let’s leave the vulgarities and childish crudities for the DU types.
Probably listening to cowboy poetry, and not paying attention to the road.
If the accident would have happened in 2014 after ObamaCare had taken effect, and if the moron didn't have CongressCritterCare, then Dirty Harry would be wearing a toe tag right about now.
Some0ne needs a weekend press blowjob story.
And some0ne doesn’t want to take the fall for anyone or anything.
I guess some0ne is going to go for a sympathy moment about how much he CARES.
Good luck to him. May this brush with mortality convince him to spend more time with his family.
I see what you did there . ;)
Well 0bamacare won’t apply to him. He will be getting the best medical care there is.
Praying for the good of the country. I couldn’t possibly be any nicer than that.
He sure did have more security than Stevens.
Bummer!
.
The White House is blaming it on a Youtube video.
Prayers forward for Harry Reid. Whether we agree with you on politics or not, may you have a speedy recovery and may God be with you and your family.
Let’s not denigrate into the DUmp, folks.
“Not life threatening.”
Shame (that its not life threatening). If it wasn’t a serious crash, we can correctly assume there wasn’t a Kennedy behind the wheel.
He seems to have a pretty big motorcade for someone who is NOWHERE in the Presidential Succession
