Senator Reid’s wife and daughter were involved in a four car accident in Virginia. After seeing his wife in a Northern Virginia hospital, he rushed back to Congress to continue his work on passing the healthcare reform bill.

“Mrs. Reid has a broken nose, broken back and broken neck,” Reid spokesman Jim Manley said in a statement. “Lana has a neck injury and facial lacerations.” Manley said Mrs. Reid could feel her extremities.

Virginia State Police said Mrs. Reid and her daughter were traveling northbound on I-95 in stop-and-go traffic when their Honda Odyssey was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer loaded with rolls of plastic. The impact forced the Reid family’s minivan to rear-end a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which in turn struck a Chevrolet Cobalt.

The driver of the tractor-trailer, Alan W. Snader, 59, of Ohio, was charged with reckless driving, police said. He was not injured. All involved were wearing seat belts, police said.

Now that tells me that even with all that he doesn’t skip a beat. That means he is determined to pass the healthcare reform bill, even if he incurs any out-of-pocket medical bills from his wife’s and daughter’s car accident.
