Harry Reid released from hospital after vehicle crash

[Updated at 7:05 p.m. ET] Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, was discharged late Friday afternoon from a Las Vegas hospital hours after suffering rib and hip bruises in a vehicle collision on a Nevada highway, his office and a hospital spokeswoman said.

The vehicle that Reid was in, one of four vehicles in a caravan going north on Interstate 15, was involved in the multi-vehicle crash around 1 p.m. PT, Nevada Highway Patrol spokesmen Loy Hixson said.

Reid was discharged from University Medical Center shortly before around 4 p.m. PT (7 p.m. ET), hospital spokeswoman Karen Gordon said. For more, check out this story from CNN.com's Political Ticker.

    I certain that the the God Fearing, Radical Right Wing Gun Nut, warmongering, hypocritical, inbred, Republican Teabagger's are extremely upset that Harry Reid did not die in the auto crash. The same way that they celebrated when Ted Kennedy finally died of brain cancer.

      What kind of person are you to say such things. When did people become so vile that they would think another human being would wish that anyone would be in pain and or die. I wish that on no-one and neither should you from either party.

    Did he vote for Obamacare? Oh, I forgot, he's a Dem AND he gets full coverage for life no matter if Congress accomplishes anything (good) or not.

    This is what happens when you carelessly disregard God and everything that is good in this world. It's not "global warming" that you must be scared of but your wicked ways coming back to haunt you. I hope this acts as a wake up call for Reid, though I doubt it.

      It is NOT God. Reid is a human, everyone gets in car accidents. Politicians are no exception.

      God controls every aspect of this world. It is ignorant to assume we are in charge. Bad things happen to lots of people, but the wicked are especially vulnerable because they have the most to learn.

      This should be your wake up call. Anyone who thinks like you do is truly evil.

      He qualifies by the standards of your superstitions – he is a mormon. Just like Romney in case you've forgotten

      Mark, if you are a Republican, it is statement like yours which give us all a bad name. You sound like a NUT JOB! Or are you a Democrate acting like a republican in order to make the republicans look bad? Either way you need some professional help buddy.

      If your space ghost controls every aspect of the world, I assume that means you aren't against abortions then, right? Because if the sky fairy is in control of everything, it was its plan for the abortion to happen. I hope you haven't urinated in the gene pool.

      Well Mark, it sounds to me like you yourself are "disregarding" god by passing judgement. I thought that was not the job of mortal sinners like yourself. It's funny how little people like you actually know about religion. I think you should keep your mouth shut and go learn more about the things you know so little about.

    Whether you disagree with the man's politics or not, no need to be nasty about a human being. He's still a husband, a father, a grandfather to someone. I'd say have a little respect, but I truly wonder if we have lost that in this day and age...

      Satan will have to wait for God to finish with him. Personally, I'd fear God more than Satan. If anything, Harry would fit in with Satan. They'll be buddies.
