Britt Reid, the son of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and the team’s outside linebackers coach, will miss Super Bowl LV on Saturday after being involved in a car accident that left a child behind seriously injured earlier in the week, the team said.
Chiefs said they stand by their Friday night statement and are still collecting information about what happened Thursday night when Reid was involved in a multicar crash.

The Chiefs departed for Tampa on Saturday – a day before the Super Bowl due to coronavirus restrictions issued by the league.
Reid, 35, was under investigation for drunk driving in Kansas City, Missouri, after police said he was involved in a multiple-car crash near Arrowhead Stadium, reported FOX4 KC.

The station obtained police documents that matched the details of the crash. The documents say Reid told police he was driving a van involved in the crash and told an officer he had had between two and three drinks and was on Adderall’s prescription. The station reported that no names were identified in the police report.
The accident took place near the south ramp of I-435, according to FOX4 KC. A driver of a Chevrolet Impala ran out of gas and on the ramp called for help, police said. The police report said the hazard lights were flashing, but the car’s battery was starting to die when a family arrived in a Chevrolet Traverse and parked near them with their headlights on.

The station reported, citing crash documents, that a white Dodge pickup was traveling south on the ramp to the freeway when the driver collided with the Impala and collided with the Traverse from behind.
The Impala driver was inside the car at the time of the crash and was not injured and two adults from the Traverse were also not injured, according to the station.
However, a 5-year-old was seriously injured and a 4-year-old suffered non-life threatening injuries.
It did not appear that Reid was injured in the crash.
