据警方称，堪萨斯城酋长队的助理教练、主教练安迪·雷德的儿子布里特·里德(Britt Reid)周四晚上卷入了一起严重的撞车事故。堪萨斯城警方表示，里德正在接受“损伤”调查。
里德没有受到危及生命的伤害，但事故中一辆汽车上的两名儿童受了重伤，其中一人受了危及生命的伤害。
这位35岁的球员是酋长队的后卫教练，他将在周日的超级碗比赛中对阵坦帕湾海盗队。
酋长们在一份声明中说:“该组织已经意识到一场涉及外线后卫蔻驰·布里特·里德的多辆车事故。”。“我们正在收集信息，目前我们没有进一步的评论。我们的想法和祈祷与所有相关人员同在。”

汽车司机里德最初撞上了，车里两个没油的成年人没有受伤。
堪萨斯城全国广播公司下属机构KSHB该公司获得了与此案有关的搜查令，报道称里德承认在坠机前饮酒。
酋长队直到周六才前往超级碗55的主办城市坦帕。由于以下原因，该队仍留在堪萨斯城COVID-19协议。
一位消息人士告诉ESPN的缔安娜·拉西尼，里德仍在医院，不会前往超级碗。
里德和他的父亲一起工作，他的父亲自1992年以来一直在NFL担任教练，并自2013年以来带领老鹰队和酋长队参加超级碗比赛。安迪·雷德去年在堪萨斯城赢得了他的第一个冠军。
根据蒙哥马利县法院的记录，布里特·里德承认在2007年的一起公路暴怒事件中对另一名司机进行了简单的攻击和持枪抢劫服刑。在监狱里，他也认罪了法庭记录显示，他被控在另一起事故中受受管制物质影响驾车。
根据法庭记录，他在为酋长队工作时两次因超速被开罚单——分别在2014年8月19日和2018年8月9日。两笔罚款他都交了。
Britt Reid, Chiefs assistant coach and son of Andy Reid, involved in crash that seriously injured child
Britt Reid, an assistant coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and the son of head coach Andy Reid, was involved in a serious crash Thursday night, according to police. Reid is being investigated for "impairment," Kansas City police said.
Reid suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but two children in a car involved in the crash were seriously injured, including one with life-threatening injuries.
The 35-year-old is a linebackers coach for the Chiefs, who will play in the Super Bowl this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"The organization has been made aware of a multi-vehicle accident involving Outside Linebackers Coach, Britt Reid," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved."
The accident took place Thursday night at about 9 p.m. near the Chiefs' practice facility at the Truman Sports Complex, according to police.
Reid hit a car that was assisting another that had run out of gas on the side of the road, causing a chain reaction that hit the stalled vehicle, according to police. A 5-year-old in the broken down car suffered life-threatening injuries, while a 4-year-old in the car suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The driver of the car Reid hit initially and two adults in the car that ran out of gas were not injured.
Kansas City NBC affiliate KSHB, which obtained a search warrant related to the case, reported Reid admitted to drinking before the crash.
The Chiefs are not traveling to Tampa, the host city for Super Bowl 55, until Saturday. The team was remaining in Kansas City due to COVID-19 protocols.
Reid remains in the hospital and will not travel to the Super Bowl, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.
Reid has worked alongside his father, who has coached in the NFL since 1992 and taken the Eagles and Chiefs to the Super Bowl, since 2013. Andy Reid won his first title with Kansas City last year.
Britt Reid pleaded guilty to simple assault and flashing a gun at another driver in a road rage incident in 2007, according to Montgomery County court records, and served prison time. While in prison, he also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of a controlled substance from a separate incident, court records show.
He was twice given tickets for speeding while working for the Chiefs -- on Aug. 19, 2014 and Aug. 9, 2018, according to court records. He paid both fines.
