Senator Reid treated for minor injuries in car crash: report Fri Oct 26, 2012 5:55pm EDT (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was taken to a Las Vegas emergency room for minor rib injuries after the vehicle in which he was riding was involved in a six-car accident on Friday afternoon, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The 72-year-old Democratic senator was the only person transported to the hospital, the newspaper reported, citing a Las Vegas police spokesman. An associate for Reid confirmed there was a car accident and that Reid "walked in" to the hospital for a checkup after the accident. The newspaper said the accident was on a Las Vegas highway and involved two Las Vegas police SWAT protection vehicles, two U.S. Capitol Police vehicles and two civilian vehicles. Reid has been campaigning for both President Barack Obama and fellow Nevada Democrats in recent weeks. Reporting By Karey Wutkowski and Richard Cowan; Editing by Will Dunham
