Britt Reid Police Video Coach Asked About Injured Girl After 2021 Crash ... Complained Of Stomach Pain, Too

Britt Reid appeared to be fully aware of his surroundings following his 2021 car crash ... new police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows he asked cops about the status of the little girl hurt in the wreck -- while also complaining of a stomach injury he suffered in the accident.
The footage was captured on a Kansas City Police Dept. dash camera at around 9:30 PM on Feb. 4, 2021 ... just moments after Reid slammed his pickup truck into the back of a stopped car on a freeway near the Chiefs' practice facility in K.C.
You can see in the video, Reid -- who at the time was an assistant coach on his dad Andy Reid's Chiefs staff -- seemed to be walking and talking to an officer without issue.
Wearing a Chiefs COVID mask and a Chiefs sweatshirt, Britt obeyed all of a cop's commands ... even informing the officer he had consumed an Adderall-like medication roughly 13 hours before the wreck.
At one point, Britt appeared to experience some discomfort ... and after pulling up his shirt to examine his stomach, he calmly told an officer, "My front is starting to swell up a little." He ultimately asked to be checked out by medical personnel.
While waiting for an ambulance to arrive, Britt was informed that he'd be taken to a local medical facility. He then attempted to pull out his phone to inform someone of the news -- but a cop told him, "We can't be on the phone right now, OK?"
Britt responded, "My dad is sitting right there." The cop then told him he still couldn't be on the device, and Britt complied.
It's not clear if Britt meant Andy was at the scene -- a spokesperson for the KCPD told us on Wednesday they were not aware if the K.C. head coach was there.
As Britt and officers continued to wait for medics to arrive, the football coach could be heard in the video inquiring about 5-year-old Ariel Young, who suffered serious brain injuries in the crash.
"Any word on that little girl?" he asked.
"I have not heard anything, sir," the cop said.
Moments later, Britt appeared to pull something from his mouth and throw it onto the ground. He then spit several times.
An ambulance eventually came, and Britt got in it. Officials later said he required emergency groin surgery for his injury.
Days after the crash, authorities said in court documents Britt had a BAC of .113 moments after the wreck, well above the .08 legal limit. They also said they were able to determine he was going 82.6 MPH in a 65 MPH zone just seconds before the crash, and had reached 83.9 MPH at the time of impact.
Britt, who lost his job with the Chiefs in the days following the crash, was ultimately charged with felony DWI in the case.
He pled guilty to the count in September 2022 and was sentenced to three years in prison two months later.
At the sentencing hearing, Britt said he was sorry for his actions ... telling the courtroom, "Every time I see my daughter, I think about Ariel and how my decision affected her so deeply and her family."
Ariel is still dealing with the life-changing effects caused by the accident. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have vowed to make sure she's taken care of "for the rest of her life."

Sneaker Artist Kreative Customs Hospitalized After Motorcycle Crash 'Difficult, Long Road Ahead'
Famed sneaker artist Kreative Customs -- designer of custom kicks for star athletes like Cam Newton -- was in a horrific motorcycle accident, and may never be able to walk again, according to his business partner and friend Dez Customz.
Dez, a fellow top sneaker/cleat artist, shared the terrible news Sunday evening, posting a photo of Mohammed Gafar in the hospital, saying he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on March 26 and "faces a very difficult and long road ahead."
"The prognosis for him being able to walk again is not good. But if anyone has the will and stubbornness to prove them wrong it’s Moe."
Dez -- whose client list includes Joel Embiid -- provided another update Monday, saying Moe was awake and talking after having back surgery.
"The situation to be honest is plain and simple -- there's very little opportunity that he will walk again. That's the truth," Dez said.
"His arms, hands, upper body, neck everything is intact. No damage to the head."
Fans and artists from all over penned encouraging messages to Moe, including Mache who shared an emotional IG post ... saying his heart dropped when he got the news.
"Thoughts and prayers are great but Moe needs way more than that," the famous artist said.
"As a fellow artist and entrepreneur there’s probably no insurance or $401k to tap into to cover the amount of medical bills that are going to face him and his family as he battles in the hospital."
A GoFundMe has been started to help Moe and his family pay medical bills.
"It’s going to be a long hard fight but I know Moe, he will prevail," Mache said "Let’s help him and his family out."
Moe has been in the sneaker art business for years and shared some of his work with us, from Cam Newton's custom dabbing cleats to designing Ricky Jean-Francois's $6K Nike Marty McFly kicks.

L.A. Police Chase Suspect Dies After Jumping Out of Stolen Cop Car
1:46 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us the suspect has died from his injuries.
A dramatic and possibly deadly end to a wild police chase just unfolded outside Los Angeles, as a suspect driving a stolen police cruiser jumped from the vehicle as it was still moving.
The whole thing was broadcast live on FOX 11 as officers from the California Highway Patrol raced at high speeds to keep up with the suspect. The man weaved in between lanes of traffic on CA 138 toward Lancaster, and at times could be seen rummaging through the inside of the cop car.
Then, in a stunning move, and while the vehicle was still traveling at an extremely high speed, the suspect opened the driver's side door and jumped out of the vehicle.
The suspect hit his head and was immediately knocked unconscious. From there, the stolen police cruiser continued until it slammed into an electric pole.
Officers immediately pulled the man out of the road, got him in handcuffs and began to check his condition. He was clearly in bad shape because they started CPR immediately.
The suspect's current condition is not clear.

'Moonshiners' Star Josh Owens Breaks Silence on Motorcycle Crash ... I Broke Just About Everything!!!
"Moonshiners" star Josh Owens is opening up about a very scary motorcycle crash that left him in pieces ... saying he suffered a broken neck, back, arm and legs.
Josh posted a video Monday from his hospital bed ... updating his followers for the first time on his condition after his severely violent accident earlier this month.
JO only showed off one of his wounds, but it's pretty insane ... he turned the camera on his leg, which had about 50 staples and a huge scar.
Gory as hell, for sure ... and Josh admitted he's hanging on by a thread, but he's also confident he'll bounce back.
Josh crashed on March 4, while taking part in a motorcycle race at Florida's Daytona International Speedway.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Shortly after, his "Moonshiners" co-star Richard Landry said he'd talked to some people who talked to family members ... who said Josh was doing okay, but was not out of the woods yet. One of Josh's friends started a GoFundMe to help cover what's sure to be a hefty hospital bill, as Josh doesn't have health insurance ... according to his friend.
Despite all that, he's staying remarkably positive.
In the video update, Josh says it's only by the grace of God he survived the wreck, and adds ... "I'm still here and I love ya'll."
Get well soon, Josh!

Wild L.A. Car Wreck Loose Tire Sends Car into Mid-Air Flip!!!
Sometimes L.A. freeways look like action movie scenes, but this car flying several feet into the air and flipping over after a tire popped off a truck ... is painfully real, and crazy!!!
Dashcam video captured by Anoop Khatra's Tesla shows the entire accident go down on L.A.'s Ronald Reagan Freeway -- as you can see, the Kia Soul was passing a pickup truck last week ... when the truck's left front tire just comes loose.
Vehicles losing tires ... not that uncommon, but what happens next is -- the loose tire slams into the front of the passing Kia and absolutely launches it into the air!!!
The Kia does a flip mid-air, before landing.
And, just when the chaos seems to be ending ... the same rogue tire slams into the back of the Kia. Got it coming and going!
Meanwhile, the pickup truck driver managed to anxiously exit off the freeway ... on just 3 wheels. Astoundingly, the CHP says there were no major injuries.
Gotta be a real-life stunt person to commute in La La Land!!!

Dick Van Dyke Chinny Chinny Bang Bang ... Shows Off Injuries after Car Crash
Dick Van Dyke showed off his battle wounds Friday after his recent car accident, claiming the airbags didn’t deploy during the crash.
The beloved “Mary Poppins” icon, 97, was spotted out and about with his wife, 51-year-old Arlene Silver, and a younger pal.
Van Dyke pointed out two stitches in his chin after his car accident last week ... “I’m fine — just sore all over” ... assuring people he was doing “pretty good.”
“The airbags did not deploy, so I just had a face plant right in the steering wheel and it just made me a little dumber,” he quipped, with his infamous grin.
He brushed off the concerns about his well-being, saying he’s doing relatively ok ... “I’m 97 — all my friends are dead.”
The famed actor crashed his silver Lexus earlier this Month into a gate in Malibu while driving in wet conditions, apparently losing control of the wheel.
Photos from the accident show Van Dyke with blood on his mouth and nose, and paramedics treated him at the scene for his injuries and a possible concussion.
Officers don’t believe alcohol or drugs were involved in the slippery crash, but they reportedly requested that the actor retake his driving exam with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Just a few months prior, the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star was seen lamenting the Golden State’s drought, wishing for a wet spell, while visiting one of his favorite nonprofit organizations in October 2022.
“Is it ever going to rain?” he asked at the time when he was spotted driving the same vehicle involved in this month’s unfortunate crash.
A decade ago, Van Dyke was involved in a more serious car accident — that time, his vehicle burst into flames. Dick was driving on a California highway when he noticed smoke coming from the hood of his Jaguar.
Promptly pulling over to the side of the road, a hero bystander rushed to the star’s rescue and pulled him from the car just before it burst into flames.
The inferno torched the luxe car, but Van Dyke luckily escaped without a scratch.
“It just started making a noise, and I thought I had a flat at first, then it started to smoke, then it burned to a crisp,” he said at the time of the incident.

11:01 AM PT -- Dylan Walsh tells TMZ ... He's very proud of his son for saving the motorist. His son is an Iraq war veteran, and what his son did is just who he is. He would jump out of a window to help somebody.
The sous chef son of actor Dylan Walsh cooked up a wild water rescue for people at a Maryland tourist site after a car plunged into the harbor ... and the drama was all caught on video.
Thomas Walsh left a meeting with his boss at Phillips Seafood on Wednesday afternoon when he came across a group of people freaked out about what they had just seen -- a car had careened into the water at Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the driver was stuck inside.
Well, that's all Tom had to see as he dove into the water to save the motorist as The Baltimore Banner reported.
Check out the footage, posted Wednesday on Instagram, showing Tom punching the passenger side window of the car and kicking in the windshield. Tom pulled the driver out through the windshield and swam with him to the edge of the pier. Tom then hoisted the man into the waiting arms of people on the pier before he, too, was helped to safety.
Emergency Service personnel later fished the car out of the water with the help of a tow truck.
Update: looks like car has been dredged from Inner Harbor by @BaltimorePolice @BaltimoreBanner pic.twitter.com/TkgRR9cLLj

Police said Tom and the driver were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The motorist, according to cops, was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the accident.

Dick Van Dyke got into a car crash in Malibu ... though he managed to avoid serious injury.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police responded to a call of a single-car accident last Wednesday morning, and when deputies arrived they found Dick behind the wheel of a 2018 Lexus LS 500 which he'd crashed into a gate.
Our sources say the 97-year-old film and TV legend told cops his car slid and he lost control before slamming into the gate. The streets were wet from the nonstop rain L.A.'s been getting.
As for Dick's injuries ... we're told he was bleeding from the nose and mouth and might have suffered a concussion. Paramedics treated him at the scene, and he had no interest in going to a hospital.
Dick's taken a beating onscreen during his seven decades in Hollywood ... so we're guessing a few minor bumps and bruises don't faze him much.
Our sources say drugs and alcohol were NOT involved ... though cops have submitted paperwork to the DMV requesting a driving retest for Dick, with one of the factors being his age.
We're told someone picked him up, so he didn't have to drive home from the scene.

Jalen Carter's March didn't get any better on Wednesday ... the top NFL draft prospect struggled in front of scouts at his Pro Day at the Univ. of Georgia.
Just two weeks after he was hit with criminal charges stemming from his alleged role in a fatal January car crash, Carter took the field at UGA in an attempt to prove he still belonged as a top-five pick ... and by all accounts, he had a rough day.
Reporters on the scene said he showed up at 323 pounds -- nine lbs heavier than what he weighed at the NFL's scouting combine some 14-or-so days ago.

Carter opted out of most physical testing -- including the 40-yard dash. He did, however, compete in on-field drills, but according to ESPN's Mark Schlabach, he was winded and cramping throughout the workout -- and ended things early.
Reps from all 32 teams -- including NFL head coaches Arthur Smith, Matt Eberflus and Mike Tomlin -- watched it all go down.
Carter did not speak to media members at the event.

It's unclear where Carter's status as a draft pick now currently stands. At one point this offseason, he was considered to be a frontrunner for the No. 1 overall spot. Now, however, it's all up in the air.
Carter is facing two misdemeanor charges after he was accused of racing UGA staffer Chandler LeCroy on Jan. 15 in Athens, Ga. before she crashed, killing her and Bulldogs football player Devin Willock.
Carter said after the allegations were made public on March 1, "There is no question in my mind that when all of the facts are known that I will be fully exonerated of any criminal wrongdoing" -- but the case remains ongoing.
The NFL draft, meanwhile, kicks off on April 27.

"He was kind of in a daze," Osborn said. "I don't know if he was conscious but I think he felt the heat coming to his legs and obviously he just got into a big crash so he's kinda out of it."
"That's when we began to talk to him, try to get him out and he was able to a little bit, you know, muster something for himself before we were able to."
Osborn believes if he and the group didn't spring into action, the man -- who only suffered minor injuries -- would not be alive today.
"No, he doesn't live," Osborn said. "I think that car would've burned on fire. It would've been really tragic."
Osborn said he never thought in his wildest dreams that he would be a part of something like this ... but he's glad he and the other three heroes were on the scene -- calling it all, "Right Place Right Time."
"I believe God had me, us, at the right place at the exact right time," Osborn later said of the incident on his Twitter page.
Osborn's quarterback, Kirk Cousins wasn't surprised by his wideout's heroism ... saying on his social media page Tuesday, "This is totally on-brand for @KJ_Osborn. Just a tremendous person & teammate."
The Michigan native was selected by the Vikings in the 5th round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In the past two seasons, he's logged in 1,305 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
He's also currently working on his master's degree in criminal justice at the University of Miami ... with his eyes on joining the FBI or Secret Service after his NFL career ends.

Exclusive

Pete Davidson and Chase Sui Wonders scared the crap out of a 16-year-old girl, who was home alone when Pete's car came careening into her home.
The girl was reading a book when Pete lost control of the Mercedes and slammed into the house. The sound was so intense the girl thought she was in the middle of an earthquake ... this according to her dad.
The homeowner tells TMZ the car struck the house just outside the living room, and it penetrated the exterior wall. The crash was so intense a window came out of it's frame. We do not know where the girl was reading, but it had to be jolting and scary.
She was not injured, and her dad says she was "a bit" traumatized. Pete and Chase may have cushioned the blow somewhat by apologizing to her. It's a helluva way to meet famous people!
Unclear how much repairs will cost ... a contractor will eyeball the damage and the owners are waiting on the full police report before turning things over to their insurance company. Obviously, the insurance company will go after Pete to cover the repair costs.
The girl's dad says he harbors no ill will toward Pete. He's not going to sue and is just glad everyone's ok.
Sorry accident lawyers ... no business here!

Pete Davidson and Chase Sui Wonders triggered massive waterworks after striking a fire hydrant in Bev Hills ... and new video shows the ferocity of what went down Saturday night.
Water is shooting to the skies from the ruptured hydrant ... as firefighters try feverously to get things under control.
As Pete stands on the sidelines (blue jacket), police inspect damage to a home caused by Pete crashing into it.
TMZ broke the story, Pete was behind the wheel Saturday night, driving fast according to law enforcement sources. We're told he lost control, hopping a curb and taking out a fire hydrant before careening into a home.
Miraculously ... no one was hurt.
As we reported, the 2 were spotted in Hawaii earlier that day havin' fun on the beach ... but clearly things took a turn for the worse in Bev Hills.

Pete Davidson went from beachside lounging one day to a collision in the streets of L.A. the next ... and his girlfriend was with him for both occasions ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us Pete and Chase Sui Wonders were involved in a car accident Saturday night around 11 PM. Our sources say he was behind the wheel of a Mercedes and driving at a high rate of speed through the Flats neighborhood of Bev Hills.
For some reason, we're told he lost control of the vehicle ... which hopped a curb, took out a fire hydrant and then proceeded to slam into the side of a nearby house ... dragging across the lawn and leaving skid marks on the grass.
Based on photos of the crash site, obtained by TMZ, it doesn't appear Pete went into the property ... but our sources say he did strike it and caused damage. Thankfully, nobody was hurt -- be it outside or in the home. Cops were called, however, and they responded.
We're told the preliminary view is that drugs and alcohol were not involved here, but an investigation is currently underway. Our sources also say no arrests were made on the spot, and that Pete and Chase were not cited either ... at least not for now, anyway.
Unclear what sorta interaction the two stars might've had with the homeowners, but ya gotta imagine insurance is gonna get involved for this ... at the very least. We've reached out to both of their reps for further comment ... so far, no word back.
It's pretty wild that Pete and Chase were back in L.A. in such a short turnaround ... remember, they were literally just photographed in Hawaii earlier that same day (Saturday) enjoying the beach together -- and they didn't seem to be in a rush getting back.
They must've left almost immediately after getting snapped by paps, 'cause a flight from the islands to L.A. takes a good 5 hours or so. Seems they were eager to be out and about as soon as they touched down. Pete even presented at the Kids' Choice Awards last night!
Jetlag, man ... it can take a toll, even for the spryest of us. Stay safe, y'all.
