KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The trial date for former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, who is charged with drunk driving in the crash that seriously injured a 5-year-old girl has been set.

Reid crashed into two vehicles near Arrowhead Stadium. When police arrived, his blood alcohol content was .113, according to court documents.

Police said Reid was driving 82 mph in a 65 mph zone leading up to the crash.

One of the vehicles was assisting the other that had run out of fuel.

Reid was let go from the Chiefs organization.

A GoFundMe started for the 5-year-old girl raised over $500,000 for medical expenses. The girl suffered brain injuries of which she will never recover.
