Two Reid sons have troubles in traffic
Garrett, 23, was in a crash that seriously hurt a driver. Britt, 21, was separately accused of road rage.

Two of Andy Reid's sons were questioned by police after separate traffic incidents yesterday in Montgomery County.

Garrett Reid, 23, the oldest of the Eagles coach's three sons, was involved in a serious accident yesterday afternoon in Plymouth Township, police said.

Britt Reid, 21, was being investigated regarding an alleged road-rage confrontation in West Conshohocken, police confirmed. Other media reported that Britt Reid had been hurrying to the scene of his brother's accident.

Garrett Reid was driving a black Jeep Liberty SUV that collided with a car at Germantown Pike and Arch Road about 2:30 p.m., according to police.

"Witnesses say he may have missed a red light," said Joe Lawrence, deputy chief of police for Plymouth Township.

Reid and the other driver were alone in their cars. Air bags for both vehicles deployed during the accident, police said.

The driver of a Ford Taurus, an unidentified woman from the Harrisburg area, was taken by helicopter to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, police said. She was listed in serious condition.

According to Lawrence, police were investigating the accident and "looking at all possibilities," including whether alcohol or drugs played a part.

Reid was not given a field-sobriety test at the scene, according to Lawrence, who said Reid was not injured.

No charges were filed against Reid, who was questioned by police and released about 7 p.m.

The Eagles said last night that they were aware of the accident but had no comment. Andy Reid was out of town at the time of the accident. It is believed he was at a vacation home he recently purchased in Southern California.

In the second incident, Britt Reid was driving on Matson Ford Road near Conshohocken, a source said, when he got into a verbal altercation with another driver.

Britt Reid allegedly exchanged insults and gestures with the other driver as they drove down the road, according to a Fox29 report. At a stop light, Reid allegedly got out of his car and approached the other driver, who remained in his car.

The second driver told Britt Reid to go back to his car, which Reid did, Fox29 reported.

Officer Ray Sokolowsky, on duty last night at the West Conshohocken police station, confirmed that Britt Reid was under investigation but released no details.

He said a full report would be made public early this morning.

Britt Reid was not charged last night.

lol @ sus doing anything possible to try and defend these idiots kids and having it blow up each time


1. If the gun angle is bogus, and he was just trying to rush to aid his brother, I can imagine a situation where some vigilante wannabe might try to get in his way or something. Something like that, while still wrong, might be more understandable.

2. From what I've heard so far, he got into a verbal/gesture thing with another driver, and when they stopped at a light, the other driver got out and approached Reid. As long as he didn't point the gun at the guy, and provided he had a carry permit, he did nothing wrong. Flashing the gun as a warning, especially if you think somebody is coming to harm you, might be understandable.

Dude, I'm not trying to defend anything. I'm just trying to make it all make sense. Speculation is fun.

[Diomedes]

along the lines of speculation for fun, this line got my attention too:

"Witnesses say he may have missed a red light," said Joe Lawrence, deputy chief of police for Plymouth Township.

It seems to me that if you're rich and white, or maybe the son of a famous person, you "miss" a red light.  If you're poor, or black, or god forbid both, if you don't have fame on your side, you "run" a red light.  Go ahead and argue otherwise.

perhaps not....but it wasnt as tho you were speculating that the kid was high on crack when he hit the lady...in both cases it sounded like you were trying to make excuses for the kids...so from my end it looked like a defense

no question

[Seabiscuit36]

You dont get tickets from witnesses for traffic lights

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I'm white, and middle class. Why is that instead of "miss" or "run" a red light, when I do it is called "blowing" the light.  

[Diomedes]

For you, it's called blowing a light because you are teh ghey!!@!

I think others were leaning toward the darker speculation. I was just trying to provide some other plausible explanations...based, of course, on very sketchy information.
