The Kansas City Chiefs and the family of the 5-year-old girl injured in the February car crash involving former assistant coach Britt Reid announced they’ve reached a financial agreement. The agreement is set to cover medical expenses and more, as Ariel Young faces a long road to recovery after suffering a traumatic brain injury in the crash.
Attorney Tom Porto, who represents the Young family, issued a press release on Friday, detailing the agreement and providing an update on Ariel.
“Over the last several months, representatives of the Kansas City Chiefs, Ariel Young and Ariel’s family have worked together, alongside medical experts, to develop a plan to take care of Ariel — both now, and for the rest of her life.
The Chiefs and Ariel’s attorney, Tom Porto, announce today that the parties have finalized a comprehensive care plan that provides Ariel with world-class medical care and long-term financial stability.
Ariel’s recovery is a long road, but she has made great strides and continues to improve every day. Earlier this fall, she attended her first day of school.”
All other details of the comprehensive care plan remain confidential and the Chiefs declined to comment on the agreement.
Britt Reid, son of Chiefs HC Andy Reid, was charged with a felony DWI stemming from the February crash. He plead not guilty in June and his trial is currently set to begin on April 18th. The 36-year-old could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.
