Reid: Wife, daughter recovering from truck crash
The Associated PressSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid says his wife and daughter are recovering at home after a violent highway crash last week.
Landra Reid, the senator's wife of 50 years, suffered a broken neck, back and nose in the crash but was stabilized after surgery. Reid said his wife, who is 69, was home with a neck brace but is getting around the couple's 2,000-square foot house.
Reid said the couple's daughter, Lana Barringer, 49, suffered relatively minor injuries but is seeing a neurologist this week because she feels dizzy.
Virginia State Police said Mrs. Reid and her daughter were traveling northbound on I-95 near Washington in stop-and-go traffic Thursday when their minivan was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. The driver of the truck was charged with reckless driving.
