Britt Reid will be sentenced Oct. 28

The mother of the girl critically injured in the DWI crash involving then-Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid is speaking out with new details of what happened that fateful night.

"I just remember looking in the mirror, seeing him come in, like, this full speed coming and then all of a sudden everybody was knocked out," said Felicia Miller.

For the first time, Miller is sharing horrific details about the night Britt Reid, son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, crashed into her car leaving her daughter, Ariel, critically injured.

I was, like, 'Oh, my God, he's about to hit us.' And then boom," she said.

Miller is speaking out just days after Reid pleaded guilty to driving while impaired as part of a deal for a reduced sentence. His maximum prison time will be four years.

"He's just getting a slap on the wrist. If anybody else had did that, if we did that, any of us hit his car, being drunk, hitting his car and injured one of his kids, we would have been in jail," Miller said.

Reid was an assistant coach for the Chiefs at the time of the crash in 2021. His pickup truck slammed into Miller's car and her cousin's vehicle, which had broken down near the team's training facility.

A police report reveals an officer on-scene smelled "a moderate odor of alcoholic beverages" emanating from Reid, who told the officer he'd had "two to three drinks" and was on the prescription drug Adderall.

An image from the wreck shows the backseat where Ariel was sitting.

"I don't hear my baby at all. And I was just, like, freaking out, freaking out. And then finally, we find her, because she's buried under the seats. Because, you know, all the seats done broke in the car," Miller said.

Ariel was rushed to the hospital, spending nearly two weeks in a coma.

Felicia said that Ariel doesn't remember the crash and has had to relearn many things. The Chiefs worked out a payment plan for her medical care. Ariel is 7 years old now and back in school. Miller said the recovery has been difficult, but her daughter is strong.

"She's been strong through the whole, the whole last almost two years from her. She woke up through the coma and, you know, being strong through the hospital until now and being strong," Miller said.

Britt Reid's attorney sent a statement that reads in part: "Mr. Reid has accepted responsibility for his conduct. He continues to be remorseful and has apologized to all affected."

Reid will be sentenced Oct. 28.
