Britt Reid, son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, is expected to plead guilty to charges from a 2021 car crash that severely injured a 5-year-old girl, WDAF, the Fox-affiliated TV station in Kansas City, reported.
Britt Reid was charged with felony driving while intoxicated in April 2021 after driving almost 20 miles per hour over the speed limit before hitting two cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435.
Ariel Young, the 5-year-old girl, suffered "a traumatic brain injury" that left her "functioning like a baby," said the Young family’s attorney, Tom Porto.
Others were injured in the crash as well.

Reid, a Chiefs linebackers coach at the time who no longer works for the team, initially pleaded not guilty to the charge in June.
The Chiefs, who paid for the medical care of Young, were also considered a potential party involved in the case since the accident occurred near the team’s practice facility. Reid had told police at the time of the accident that he consumed alcohol and took Adderall before driving his Dodge Ram.
