It was announced over the weekend that Reid was now being looked at by Missouri prosecutors. Today, he has been charged with a DWI from the incident.

Per ESPN:

Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid has been charged with felony driving while intoxicated for his involvement in a car crash earlier this year that left a 5-year-old girl critically injured.

Prosecutors in Jackson County, Missouri, filed the Class D felony charge Monday, stating that Reid “operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, and acted with criminal negligence by driving at an excessive rate of speed.”

The young girl is still recovering from her injuries, and might suffer long-term affects from the crash.

Let’s hope that Britt Reid is held accountable here. There’s no excuse for being under the influence while operating a car. I don’t care who your dad is.
