Will they stop taking money from beer brewers? They became the No Firearms League right after that former KC Chiefs guy shot himself in the parking lot. They decided guns were hurting their brand...[CeeBeeEss Newz] Former Kansas City Chiefs coach Britt Reid has been charged with driving while intoxicated during a February crash that severely injured a 5-year-old girl, prosecutors in Jackson County, Missouri, said Monday. Officials say Reid, the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, was driving nearly 84 miles per hour just seconds before the crash.
The crash occurred on February 4 after Reid's truck hit a car that had run out of gas and then struck a second car driven by relatives of those in the first car, according to a police statement cited by CBS affiliate KCTV in February. Police said Reid smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes, and told officers on the scene that he'd had "2-3" drinks, according to a search warrant obtained by the outlet. The 5-year-old was severely injured, and a 4-year-old sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Prosecutors said Monday that Reid, 35, was driving under the influence and "acted with criminal negligence by driving at an excessive rate of speed, failing to be aware of a disabled vehicle, striking it and causing physical injury to a child in that vehicle, age 5." They also said an investigation determined Reid was driving at nearly 84 miles per hour 1.9 seconds before the crash.
Reid's blood alcohol concentration was 0.113, police said. The legal limit in Missouri, where the crash occurred, is 0.08.
