Unfortunately, auto accidents do happen and are unavoidable. The last thing you want is for you or a loved one to become a part of one of those statistics. Out of all those auto accidents, roughly 800 victims are killed, and roughly 50,000 people are injured. Each year in just in Missouri, there are approximately 35,000 auto accidents that result in someone getting injured or a fatality. All eyes on her family raising money for their new, crushing reality.Īnd all eyes on the circumstances that caused this tragedy and the powerful people who can help the most, and reveal the truth, at least if they choose to do so.Auto accidents are more common than you think. All eyes on this little girl battling to live, battling to just wake up. This sad and terrible story is nowhere near over. They owe Kansas City an answer because as popular as football is and as exciting as a Super Bowl can be, it is still just football. It doesn’t mean it would be right.Īndy Reid and Clark Hunt owe Felicia Miller an answer. Staying quiet and not helping is within the Chiefs’ rights. Liability issues are, of course, everywhere. Legally, the organization doesn’t have to say anything.
If Britt Reid drove directly from the office to that crash site, then that means the “2-3 drinks” he admitted to, if not more, were consumed while at work. They may know almost everything he did while inside of it.
The Chiefs almost certainly already know when he left the building. NFL buildings have extensive security cameras and in-house investigators. The accident occurred at the interchange between Interstates 70 and 435, the most obvious route home. According to public records, he resides in Overland Park, Kansas, some 30 miles away. The crash occurred near the Chiefs’ facility, where Britt Reid was presumably working that day. Doing so would have cost him a chance to coach in the Super Bowl, not to mention potentially cause any player or coach he was in contact with to miss it as well. Even in the old boy network of the NFL coaching ranks, this employment – from prison to assistant coach – is extraordinary.ĭue to the NFL’s strict COVID protocols, Britt Reid was unlikely to have visited a bar, a restaurant or even stopped at a friend’s house that day. He has been with the Chiefs since 2013, when his father became head coach. He worked for the Philadelphia Eagles then. He also pleaded guilty to DUI and drug possession in a separate incident. In 2007, Britt was sentenced to 23 months in prison in Pennsylvania for his role in a road-rage incident that included driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and the brandishing of a gun. Britt also said he was taking prescription Adderall. In a search warrant request, officers wrote the 35-year-old failed basic sobriety checks and acknowledged that he had “2-3 drinks” before driving. Still, there are questions about why Britt was the team’s outside linebackers coach to begin with and, depending on how the investigation goes, what exactly is happening inside Reid’s football offices. That is considerable stress for any father. (Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports)Īndy Reid is, understandably, in a terrible situation. “I'm also a dad so I get that so I have concerns obviously on both sides … That little girl, my heart goes out to her."Ĭhiefs team chairman and CEO Clark Hunt (left) and head coach Andy Reid are facing serious questions about what's going on inside the team's headquarters. "My heart goes out to that young lady,” Andy Reid said Monday morning. So far, the team has issued just a brief, terse and fairly heartless statement noting that “our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.”īritt Reid didn’t coach in the Super Bowl, he himself is hospitalized after requiring surgery following the crash. They can afford to do the decent thing here. Even if it couldn’t, the Hunts are worth an estimated $15 billion. Medical bills can be covered without the organization admitting liability. The Chiefs are worldly enough to know, however, that when the police say when someone has bloodshot eyes and alcohol on their breath and that person admits to drinking before getting behind the wheel, the conclusion is all but forgone. The toxicology results aren’t back yet and within the legal system, Britt Reid maintains his innocence.
