The team said in a statement that “it continues in the process of gathering information about the incident and we will continue to assist local authorities as requested”. Britt Reid is the son of coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs said their focus remains on the 5-year-old girl and her family, according to the statement.
“We reached out to the family to offer our support and resources to them during this difficult time and we will continue to pray for their recovery,” says the statement.
In a post on Tuesday, Verhulst said the girl has not yet regained consciousness.
The three-vehicle accident occurred on Thursday night, when police in Kansas City, Missouri, said a Chevrolet Impala was disabled on the Interstate 435 ramp, and the driver asked family members for help. His family arrived and parked his Chevrolet Traverse south of the disabled car.
A Dodge Ram truck allegedly driven by Reid hit both vehicles.
A 4 and 5 year old at Traverse was transported to a local hospital with the 5 year old suffering fatal injuries, police said. Impala and Traverse drivers were not injured, police said.
The driver of the Dodge Ram – identified by the police as Reid – is being investigated for physical damage, according to the police incident report. Reid was injured in the accident that required surgery, his father said on Monday.
The officer conducted a sobriety test and observed signs of disability, the warrant says. Reid was taken to a local hospital after complaining of stomach pains.
Reid was not charged with any crime.
According to the search warrant, a computer check by the police revealed that Reid had “several previous DUI contacts.” The police requested and received permission from a judge to collect blood from Reid to assist in his investigation.
As a result of the accident, Reid did not travel with the Chiefs to Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa. The bosses lost 31-9.
