Former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid received a three-year prison sentence Tuesday after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in a crash that severely injured a young girl.

The 37-year-old son of Kansas City head coach Andy Reid could have faced a sentence as long as seven years in Jackson County (Mo.) Circuit Court. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of four yeras.

The family of Ariel Young, who suffered a traumatic brain injury when Reid’s truck crashed into her family’s car on a freeway ramp near the Chiefs facility, was outraged that Reid was allowed to reach a plea deal.
