The two vehicles that Reid hit were stationary near Interstate 435, one due to a malfunction in the car and the second for helping the first. The injured girl, Ariel Young, was in the second car during the collision. The police recorded the alcohol level in Reid’s body at 0.113% whereas the legal limit stands at 0.080%.
The family of the girl opposed Reid’s probation plea saying that no amount of prison sentence will be enough for the pain and suffering Reid has caused them and their child. Ariel has a balance problem and has to wear eyeglasses to correct her vision due to the brain injury caused by the accident. Reid apologized to the girl and her family saying that he understands where they are coming from.

This is not the first time that Reid has landed in legal trouble. Reid battled drug addiction in his youth. He underwent a drug treatment program back in 2009 in Pennsylvania. His father was the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles at that time.
He was slated to be in the coaching team of the Chiefs for the Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the Chiefs sent him on a leave pending the proceedings of the case. His association with the franchise ended when his contract expired. And he has not got any coaching job since then.
