By Ethan Lee
After Ariel Young, a 5-year-old girl, was hurt in a crash involving former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, the NFL franchise has made an agreement to help the child.
The Kansas City Chiefs have apparently reached an agreement to help provide care for the young child who was injured in a February crash that involved Britt Reid, who was an assistant coach for the Chiefs at the time.
According to a statement from the Chiefs, a plan has been developed to assist Ariel Young and her family in caring for the child after she was injured in the crash.
In the statement, the Chiefs made it clear that Young would receive support for the rest of her life.

Reid, son of Kansas City head coach Andy Reid, faced DWI charges after the incident, according to a report from Yahoo Sports. In June, the former assistant coach for the Chiefs pleaded not guilty and the judge in the case subsequently allowed Reid to return to driving with restrictions in place, according to an AP report.
In a report from KMBC, court documents said that Reid was driving 84 miles per hour just moments prior to the crash. KMBC also reported that court documents said Reid’s blood alcohol content was at 0.113, which is above the legal limit of 0.08.
