FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 13 (UPI) -- Doctors say the wife of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is doing well after undergoing surgery to repair injuries from an accident in the Washington area.
Dr. Elizabeth Franco of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., and Dr. Joseph Watson, director of Inova Regional Neurosurgery Service, confirmed Reid's wife, Landra, was in good spirits after undergoing surgery on her neck Friday, The Hill reported.
In addition to suffering a broken neck during Thursday's traffic accident, Landra Reid suffered a broken back and a broken nose.
Reid's daughter, Lana, also suffered a minor neck injury and facial cuts in the accident, which occurred when a vehicle containing the pair was rear-ended.
The Hill said Reid, a Democratic senator from Nevada, released a statement regarding the condition of his wife and daughter.
"The tremendous concern and support for Landra and Lana from people across Nevada and across the nation have deeply touched our entire family," Reid said. "We greatly appreciate your thoughts during this difficult time."
