Andy Reid’s son involved in accident that leaves child with life-threatening injuries

According to the police report, the incident occurred at 9:10 p.m. Thursday. A gray Chevy Impala ran out of gas on the southbound entrance ramp from Stadium Drive on Interstate 435. The driver called relatives for help; they responded to provide aid, and parked their vehicle, a Chevy Traverse, south of the Impala with the lights on.

Police say a Ram Laramie Sport pickup truck, which Kansas City TV station KSHB reported was driven by Reid, 35, was traveling on the entrance ramp to get on the interstate. The pickup truck struck the left front of the Impala, then continued south before hitting the rear of the Traverse.

The drivers of the two vehicles were not injured, but the two children, ages 4 and 5 and sitting in the back of the Traverse, required medical attention. The 4-year-old was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the police.
