The sentence was announced Tuesday, and it falls in line with the plea deal Reid negotiated with prosecutors, which carried a maximum of four years in prison. The charges carried a maximum sentence of seven years. 

On Feb. 4, 2021, just days before the Chiefs were to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl, Reid was driving around 84 mph in a 65 mph zone when his Dodge Ram truck hit two parked cars on a ramp to Interstate 435, which is near Arrowhead Stadium.

Ariel Young was one of five people hurt in the incident. She suffered a traumatic brain injury that her parents say has changed her forever.

During his plea hearing in September, Reid stood to answer questions from his attorney. At one point, he said, “I really regret what I did. I made a huge mistake.”

Reid then turned Twitter and looked at Young’s family and said, “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone that night.”

Without the plea deal, the case would have headed to trial in September.

After Reid entered his plea, Young’s family members expressed their anger and frustration with the terms of the deal.

“The five victims of this crime are outraged the prosecuting attorney is not seeking the maximum sentence allowable by law,” the family said in a statement through their attorney. Also “The defendant is a prior offender whose actions caused a 5-year-old girl to be in a coma and seriously injured three others.”

Young’s mother, Felicia Miller, told the judge her family was against the terms of the plea deal.

Garrett first entered drug rehab in 2003, according to ESPN. Four years later, he was involved in a high-speed car crash that led to police discovering heroin and more than 200 pills in his car. Authorities said Garrett tried to smuggle drugs into jail while serving his sentence.

By June 2010, Reid was living clean and free, Philly.com reported. Also At the time of his death, Garrett was assisting the Eagles’ strength and conditioning program in an unofficial capacity.

After the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year, Andy Reid said of his late son, “You can’t help but think of him. Absolutely.”

Reid’s youngest son, Spencer, worked as a Chiefs strength and conditioning intern in 2018 and now holds a full-time position in the Colorado State athletics department.
