The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Super Bowl LV on February 7th, 2021, and it's fair to assume nerves are running high as game day nears. It's an even more exciting showdown as two of the most famous quarterbacks in the NFL will go head-to-head: Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs against Tom Brady of the Buccaneers.

The entire event is shaping up to be incredible, as The Weeknd is the scheduled halftime show performer, and the somewhat reclusive artist will be front and center at the event. Not only that, but the National Anthem will be sung by R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan alongside country music star Eric Church, according to NBC Sports.

Amid all of the excitement, news broke on February 5th, 2021, regarding a tragic car accident involving the son of the Chiefs' head coach, Andy Reid.

On February 5th, 2021, Kansas City's 41 Action News reported that the Chiefs' outside linebackers coach Britt Reid was involved in a multi-vehicle accident. The accident occurred on the evening of February 4th, 2021, on Interstate 435 in Kansas City.

Reid allegedly hit a disabled vehicle near an interstate entrance ramp which then hit the rear of a second car parked in front of it, the outlet reported. The driver of the disabled vehicle, who was in the car when the crash happened, was not injured. However, two children who were in the second car are both injured, one with life-threatening injuries. Andy Reid's son told officers he "had two to three drinks" before driving and had also taken prescribed Adderall, the 41 Action News stated. Reid suffered non-life-threatening injuries from the crash.

According to USA Today,The Chiefs released a statement about the accident, which reads in part:

"We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved,"

Although the team has not confirmed anything as of the making of this video, NFL reporter Jason La Canfora claimed Reid will not join the team in Tampa, Florida, for the Super Bowl.

According to court documents obtained by FOX4 News, an officer at the scene of the multi-vehicle accident conducted a sobriety test on Britt Reid and "saw four clues of impairment." Officers also requested a search warrant to draw blood from Reid at a local hospital to determine whether driver impairment was a factor in the crash.
