Chiefs’ Assistant coach Britt Reid is reportedly no longer with the team following a car crash that has left one child in the hospital in critical condition.

“Clarifications on Britt Reid, per league source: He was placed on leave with the [Kansas City] Chiefs through the duration of his contract, which has since expired and he no longer is an employee with the club,” ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter captioned his post Thursday on Instagram.

It came following reports the team had placed the Chiefs’ outside linebackers coach on administrative leave following last weeks three vehicle accident that left a 5-year-old girl in critical condition, ESPN reported. (RELATED: NFL Player Reveals Disturbing Photos Of Gruesome Firework Accident)

“We remain in the process of gathering information on the incident, and we will continue to assist local authorities as requested,” the Chiefs shared in a statement. “Our focus remains on [the girl] and her family. We have reached out to the family to offer our support and resources to them during this difficult time, and we will continue to pray for her recovery.”

Britt, 35, is the son Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid who has also spoken out since the accident and said that his “heart bleeds” for the family.

“My heart goes out to all those that were involved in the accident, in particular the family with the little girl who is fighting for her life,” Reid told reporters after the super bowl, ESPN reported.

“I can’t comment on it any more than what I am here,” he added. “So the questions you have, I’m going to have to turn those down, but just from a human standpoint, my heart bleeds for everybody involved in that.”

A Kansas City police officer said he smelled “a moderate odor of alcoholic beverages” and that Britt’s eyes were bloodshot and red, according to a police officer statement obtained by the outlet about the accident on February 4.

A KSHB report said that Reid told police he had had two to three drinks and that he also took prescription Adderall, according to the search warrant application obtained by the outlet.

The assistant coach did not travel with the team to Tampa Bay and coach for Super Bowl LV for the Chiefs 31-9 loss against the Buccaneers.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
