Former NFL coach Britt Reid is still on the radar after he nearly killed 5-year-old Ariel Young during a car crash in February.
Fox News stated Reid could face one to seven years in jail if convicted despite Ariel’s family speaking out.
“Ariel is at home recovering, we hope that her being in a familiar place will help her remember things. She is doing physical therapy but as of right now she still cannot walk, talk or eat like a normal 5 year old. Thank you everyone for your continued support,” Verhulst wrote.
The update came a day after Reid, the son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, was charged with DWI in a crash that occurred in February – a day before the team left for Super Bowl LV. Britt Reid was an assistant with the Chiefs and was placed on administrative leave after the crash. The team then let his contract expire.
Verhulst told USA Today she didn’t think the charges were enough.
“We don’t believe the charges are fair or harsh enough,” Verhulst told the paper. “It’s been incredibly hard knowing he’s out every day living his normal life and Ariel’s life is completely changed.
“Our whole family’s life changed due to him making the decision to drink and drive.”
This is a tough time for Tiffany Verhulst and hopefully, Ariel will be able to walk soon.
