WASHINGTON (March 11, 2010)--The wife of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was in serious condition Thursday evening after a truck slammed into the back of the vehicle in which she and her daughter were riding on Interstate 95.

A spokesman for the senator says Landra Reid, 69, broke her back, neck and nose in the accident.

She is being treated at Inova Fairfax Hospital in suburban Virginia.

The spokesman says the couple's adult daughter, Lana, was also hurt in the four-vehicle accident but that she is expected to be released from the hospital later Thursday evening.

Sen. Reid visited the hospital and then returned to Capitol Hill for a meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

His spokesman says Reid is now back at the hospital.
