Reid's wife, daughter seriously injured in accident

WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife and daughter were being treated in a hospital Thursday for serious injuries they sustained when their vehicle was rear-ended by a truck, a spokesman said.
Reid's wife, Landra, 69, broke her back and neck in the accident, Reid spokesman Jim Manley said.
She and the couple's adult daughter, Lana, were being treated at Inova Fairfax Hospital in suburban Virginia. Neither woman's injuries appeared to be life-threatening, Manley said.
"While driving on a Washington, D.C., highway, their vehicle was rear-ended by a semi-truck," Manley said in a statement.
"Mrs. Reid has a broken nose, broken back and broken neck. Lana has a neck injury and facial lacerations. Both Mrs. Reid and Lana are conscious, can feel their extremities, and according to doctors their injuries are non-life threatening," Manley said. "Sen. Reid has been to the hospital and appreciates the support he and his family are receiving from Nevadans and his colleagues in the Senate."
Reid later returned to Capitol Hill, where he was meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on efforts to pass health care legislation. He planned to return to the hospital after the meeting, Manley said.
Reid, 70, met Landra while they both were attending Basic High School in Henderson, Nev. They were married in 1959. Lana was born two years later. The Reids also have four sons: Rory, Leif, Josh and Key.

A tractor-trailer loaded with rolls of plastic behind her did not stop and pushed the van into another
Police said the driver of the tractor trailer, Alan W. Snader, 59, of Ohio, was not injured. Snader was charged with reckless driving.
Traffic on I-95 was blocked for about two hours, and all lanes were reopened shortly after 3 p.m. The accident took place near Exit 166 at the Fairfax County Parkway, about 14 miles south of the District.
