Reid was booked on a class D felony charge of driving while intoxicated. Authorities said that his blood alcohol content was measured at .113, nearly twice the legal limit. Investigators determined he was traveling at 84 mph less than two seconds before he slammed into two parked vehicles on the side of a highway entrance ramp. One of the cars had run out of gas, and another motorist had pulled over to the side of the road to help.
A five-year-old girl who was sitting in the backseat of one of the vehicles was critically injured and spent several weeks in a coma. While she has since woken up, doctors said she will likely suffer from permanent brain damage.
