Harry Reid's wife, daughter injured in accident

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife and daughter were being treated in a hospital Thursday from serious injuries they sustained when their vehicle was rear-ended, a spokesman said.

Reid left the Senate for the hospital at midafternoon to tend to his wife, Landra, 69, who broke her back and neck in the accident, according to Reid spokesman Jim Manley.

Their adult daughter, Lana, also was injured said. Neither woman's life appeared to be in danger, and both women can feel their extremities, Manley said.

Other details of the accident were not immediately available.

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, followed by four boys: Rory, Leif, Josh and Key.
