Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid — the son of head coach Andy Reid — has been charged with DWI in a Missouri car crash that left a 5-year-old girl with a brain injury, according to a report.
Britt Reid was charged Monday in Jackson County in the Feb. 4 crash involving Ariel Young, who was seriously hurt when authorities say Reid hit a Chevrolet Traverse driven by the girl’s mother near the Chiefs practice field in Kansas City, KSHB reported.
Court records show that Reid, 35, had a blood alcohol content of .113 after the crash, Jackson County prosecutors said. He was also traveling at a speed of nearly 84 mph just seconds before slamming into two vehicles, hitting Young in one of them, prosecutors said.

Hope they lock him up for a very long time...
“ This guy cost the Chiefs a Super Bowl. Tom Brady should pay for his attorney.”
**************
I’m a big Chiefs fan, have been going back to the old AFL days. About the Super Bowl; the Chiefs weren’t prepared and the Bucs were. Their loss is all on the chiefs.
Not a Chiefs fan, but I do think it caused their loss. They came out flat, because the whole organization was hit by by that.
I may not be a Chiefs fan, but Andy Reid is the best coach in the NFL. He’s have multiple Super Bowls by now if he didn’t waste several years on a sub-NFL grade QB.
Heck no. Why should Brady pay for some useless drunk. Glad those immoral chiefs lost. What a disgrace of a team.
In the age of ubiquitous ride-sharing services, I have absolutely ZERO patience for drunk-driving.
Almost 30 people a day die (pre-Covid) of alcohol related traffic accidents which accounts for almost a third of all traffic fatalities. Even though they have - more or less - an appreciably lower drinking age, Europe has a fraction of the number of deaths per driven mile driven as we do. Why? Almost universally, European laws against drunk driving are significantly more punitive than ours. Europeans even drink more than we do with alcohol-related disease being appreciably higher in Europe than here. And yet, they ‘drink-drive’ far less than us.
As marijuana continues to be approved for recreational use across the country, I suspect these numbers will only increase in coming years.
I suspect part of being a good coach is working with your organization to get an NFL grade QB
He's probably saved at least a dozen lives by now.
And Andy Reid is a pretty good coach. No doubt.
“ I may not be a Chiefs fan, but Andy Reid is the best coach in the NFL. ”

No argument here. Doesn’t hurt that he has a transformational quarterback as well. mahones is the new quintessential prototype qb every owner and coach will be searching for. Fortunately for the Chiefs there aren’t very many Mahones in the pipe line.
I suspect that’s not an inflated estimate.
When California was working so hard to put Uber and Lyft out of business, I thought it was a huge mistake for both the companies to not more forcefully make the argument for the number of lives they’ve almost certainly saved by keeping drunks off the roads. Ride-sharing has been the best thing for public road safety since seat belts and airbags.
At what cost? One son died of a drug overdose and the other is this useless scumbag.
Britt was supposed to be the grand-nephew of the Lone Ranger. I wonder if Andy knew any of that when he named his son.
Andy Reid, the so-called “Best Coach” in the NFL willingly embraced Donovan McNabb. He drafted him. He coached him. Philadelphia Fans recognized long before Reid did that McNabb was mediocre at best and not likely to win a Super Bowl.
One could argue he is a better Coach than Parent. He had 2 children become hardcore drug abusers while he coached in Philly. His two sons had multiple problems with the Law.
Reid’s oldest son Garrett died from an heroin overdose on Aug. 5, 2012 at the age of 29. He was found unresponsive in a dorm room on Lehigh University’s campus, where he had been assisting the Eagles’ strength and conditioning coach during training camp.
Previously, Garrett Reid was sentenced to nearly two years in prison because of his involvement in a high-speed crash in 2007 that injured another driver. He admitted being under the influence of heroin, and police found more than 200 pills in his car. He also tried to smuggle pills inside during his time in prison.
Reid told a probation officer that he “liked being a drug dealer,” but he eventually stopped his criminal behavior, according to a statement read by a judge at court.
Britt Reid, another son, served jail time
Britt Reid, then 22, was sentenced to jail for a 2007 incident where he pointed a gun at a driver in a road-rage dispute. A judge sentenced him to 23 months in prison and five years’ probation on firearms and drug charges.
The judge who sentenced both of Reid’s sons likened the family’s home to “a drug emporium” and that “this is a family in crisis.”
I suspect he will look back one day and wish he spent more time raising his 2 oldest boys and less time coaching in NFL.
I'm an Eagles fan and I've watched Andy Reid lose something like 5 NFC Championship games in a row because the team, favored to win in most of them, came out flat and unprepared.
Glad for Reid that he finally got over the hump and won the Super Bowl but I would not assume that his team failing to show up in the biggest game of the year is unusual or attributable to some outside force. It's happened too many times in the past.
That's just terrible. I hope the 5 year old girl recovers and bounces back.
Once saw an accident, it didn't appear to have harmed anyone but the driver got out of his car, walked to the gas station a few feet away, bought a 12 pack and started pounding beers. One can only assume that he was an experienced drunk driver and decided to "tamper with the evidence" so to speak by getting his BAC up after the crash.
Hope they lock him up for a very long time...

The very fact he was not even charged for over 2 months says it all.
Uber should run an advertising campaign along the lines of “We are cheaper than a DUI”.
