FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's wife has been transferred out of a Virginia hospital's intensive care unit and is improving after she was seriously injured in an accident on an interstate highway near Washington.

A spokesman for the senator says Landra Reid's condition was upgraded Saturday to good, two days after a tractor-trailer rear-ended the minivan she and their daughter were riding in on I-95.

Landra Reid, 69, underwent surgery Friday to stabilize her broken neck. She also suffered a broken back and broken nose. Doctors say she is not at risk of paralysis.
