The wife and daughter of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were injured in a serious car wreck Thursday afternoon when their vehicle was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer on a Washington-area interstate, a spokesman said.

Landra Reid and her adult daughter, Lana Reid Barringer, were hospitalized with what doctors described as non-life-threatening injuries, according to a statement from Jon Summers, a spokesman for the Nevada Democrat.

Landra Reid, 69, suffered the more serious injuries, including a broken back, neck and nose. Lana Reid Barringer, 48, suffered a neck injury and facial lacerations. Both were conscious, and neither had lost feeling in their extremities, the statement said.


..."neither had lost feeling in their extremities"...

The best news.

:tsktsk:

No. But I'm sure they weren't driving one either, since they were rear ended.

Hope they are ok.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

I just finished a meeting with a man who broke his neck in a head-on collision. He says he just got out of his neck brace. But, for a slightly stiff neck, I would have never guessed. He credits his Passat with saving his life.

Out of the ICU

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife has been transferred out of a Virginia hospital's intensive care unit and is improving after she was seriously injured in an accident on an interstate highway near Washington.

Jon Summers, a spokesman for the senator, says Landra Reid's condition was upgraded on Saturday to good, two days after a tractor-trailer rear-ended the minivan she and their daughter were riding in on I-95.

Landra Reid underwent surgery Friday to stabilize her broken neck. Summers says doctors at Inova Fairfax Hospital have indicated that the 69-year-old is on a fast track for recovery.

He says there's no update on when she'll be discharged.

Landra Reid also suffered a broken back and broken nose. Doctors say she is not at risk of paralysis.
