Senator Reid’s Wife and Daughter in Serious Car Wreck
The NY Times reports that Senator Reid’s wife and daughter were in a multi-car accident in which they were rear-ended by a speeding semi truck and slammed into other cars.
Senator Reid’s wife of 51 years is in hospital with a broken back and neck. Luckily, the spinal cord appears intact. His daughter appears to have suffered only minor injuries. I wish Senator Reid and his family the best and hope for a speedy recovery.


I send my good wishes, too. Mrs. Reid is 69-years-old and even if she makes a full recovery, it won’t be easy — and I suspect she will have complications such as an increased risk of arthritis. The good news everyone survived with a good prognosis, but it’s a difficult thing to deal with given the other challenges the Reid family faces this year.
