Britt Reid, who was placed on administrative leave while under contract, is no longer with the Kansas City Chiefs because his contract has expired, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday night.
Reid, son of coach Andy Reid, was previously the coach of the Chiefs’ external linebackers. The team announced on Tuesday that Britt Reid had been placed on administrative leave following his involvement in a multi-vehicle accident last Thursday.
Reid was involved in a multiple vehicle collision last Thursday night that left a 5-year-old girl in critical condition with a brain injury, according to the Kansas City Police Department’s Missouri media unit.
The accident occurred when, according to the KCPD, a gray Chevy Impala, which ran out of gas, was stopped on the south entrance ramp of I-435 at Stadium Drive near Arrowhead Stadium. A Chevy Traverse was parked, with the lights on, near the Impala for assistance. A Ram truck, which Britt Reid admitted to the police he was driving, traveling down the driveway, hit the left front of the Impala and then the rear of the Traverse.
According to the police. The Traverse driver and the adult passenger in the front seat were not injured, nor was the Impala driver.
The KCPD is investigating the cause of the accident and Britt Reid’s involvement and noted that most investigations take several weeks.
Britt Reid did not travel with the Chiefs to the Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After the Chiefs’ defeat on Sunday, Andy Reid briefly addressed the situation, but said he could not go into detail about the situation.
