The mother of the girl who was seriously injured in a 2021 drunk driving crash caused by former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid spoke out after Missouri Gov. Mike Parson commuted the sentence of the ex-NFL coach.

Felicia Miller told ESPN in an interview published Monday that if the roles were reversed, her life "would’ve been over." She added that she was "p----d" when she learned of Reid’s fate earlier this month. 

She said she believed had she been responsible for the wreck that injured Reid’s child, the outcome would have been different.

"Look who we're talking about. We're talking about Britt Reid. He was the assistant coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, and we're in Kansas City," she told ESPN. "If it was just me, just somebody driving down the road — especially if I was drunk and slammed into his car and he had his child in the car and his child was injured, it would’ve been over for me. My whole life would’ve been over."

Ariel Young suffered a traumatic brain injury on Feb. 4, 2021 when prosecutors said Reid, the son of head coach Andy Reid, was intoxicated while driving nearly 20 mph over the speed limit when he crashed his truck into two cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435 near Arrowhead Stadium. 

Police said the former coach had a blood-alcohol level of 0.113% two hours after the crash.
