Reid's wife and daughter injured in car accident - TPM
http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/harry-reids-wife-and-daughter-hospitalized-after-car-accident.php?ref=fpa

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) wife and daughter have been hospitalized with "non-life threatening" injuries after a serious car accident, according to a statement from Reid's office.
Reid's wife, Landra, and his daughter, Lana, were rear-ended by a semi-truck while driving on a D.C. highway, and have been hospitalized for injuries in the Washington area.

Landra Reid sustained a broken neck, back, and nose as a result of the accident, and Lana Reid suffered a neck injury and facial lacerations. None of the injuries are life-threatening.

Sen. Reid is currently with his family at the hospital.

1. Sad. (But neither is paralyzed, at least)
Edited on Thu Mar-11-10 07:05 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Fortunately they both have feeling in their extremities:

"Senator Reid's wife, Landra, and daughter, Lana, were involved in an accident earlier today. They are being treated at a Washington-area hospital. While driving on a Washington, DC highway, their vehicle was rear-ended by a semi-truck. Mrs. Reid has a broken nose, broken back and broken neck. Lana has a neck injury and facial lacerations. Both Mrs. Reid and Lana are conscious, can feel their extremities, and according to doctors their injuries are non-life threatening. Senator Reid has been to the hospital and appreciates the support he and his family are receiving from Nevadans and his colleagues in the Senate."

4. Neck AND back? I thought it was only Landra's neck. Hope she is able to recover from this.

6. First thing that crossed my mind was that a right-winger did this & it's not an accident.
I hope they're alright.
