FALLS CHURCH, Va. (March 13) -- 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.

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

The condition of Landra Reid, wife of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, was upgraded to good Saturday following surgery for injuries she sustained in a serious car accident. The Reids are shown attending an event at Ford's Theater in Washington in 2007.

Landra Reid underwent surgery Friday to stabilize her broken neck. Summers says doctors at Inova Fairfax Hospital have indicated that the 69-year-old is on a fast track for recovery.

He says there's no update on when she'll be discharged.

Landra Reid also suffered a broken back and broken nose. Doctors say she is not at risk of paralysis.
