*Washington (CNN)* - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s wife broke her back
and neck and his daughter suffered a neck injury in an auto accident, a
spokesman said late Thursday afternoon.

“Their injuries are non-life threatening,” Jon Summers, Reid’s spokesman,
said in a statement. The Nevada Democrat’s family was traveling along a
“Washington, DC, highway” when “their vehicle was rear-ended by a
semi-truck,” Summers said.

*Full statement:*

“Senator Reid’s wife, Landra, and daughter, Lana, were involved in an
accident earlier today. They are being treated at a Washington-area
hospital. While driving on a Washington, DC, highway, their vehicle was
rear-ended by a semi-truck. Mrs. Reid has 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. Senator Reid has been to the
hospital and appreciates the support he and his family are receiving from
Nevadans and his colleagues in the Senate.”
