The family attorney for the five-year-old girl injured in a car crash involving former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid is speaking out for the first time.

Tom Porto, the attorney for the Young family involved in the accident, spoke with Good Morning America on Tuesday and described the severity of the crash that left the girl critically injured and in a coma.

"She's awake, which is a huge development," Porto said. "Likely she has permanent brain damage that she will endure for the rest of her life. She's not walking."

On Feb. 4, Britt Reid's truck hit two vehicles on the side of a highway entrance ramp, injuring the five-year-old girl, her mother, aunt and four-year-old cousin inside one of the cars.
