Virginia ? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s wife underwent surgery Friday to stabilize serious injuries suffered when a tractor-trailer rear-ended the minivan she and their daughter were riding in on an interstate highway.

The surgery successfully stabilized 69-year-old Landra Reid’s broken neck, said intensive care physician Elizabeth Franco, one of the doctors at Inova Fairfax Hospital who is treating Mrs. Reid, who also suffered a broken back and broken nose.

While the injuries were serious, Franco said at a news conference Friday that Mrs. Reid is “neurologically intact” and is not at risk of paralysis.

Doctors hope to have Mrs. Reid up and walking in the next day or two, Franco said.

Her daughter, Lana Barringer, 49, suffered relatively minor injuries and was released from the hospital Thursday night.
