Jamie Lynn Spears’ daughter in critical condition after ATV crash in Louisiana

The little girl, 8 years old, was taken to the emergency hospital, but according to the website TMZ, she would still be in critical condition. After the ATV tipped over, Maddie was submerged under water.

Jamie Lynn, 25, was not present at the scene of the incident, the outlet reported.

The younger sister of Britney Spears married Jamie Watson in 2014. Reportedly, Jamie Lynn wasn’t with her daughter during the accident and there was a hunting expedition at the same time.

Meanwhile, The Daily Mail observes that Maddie’s parents may have been negligent in letting her anywhere near that ATV in the first place.

“I sat on the thing and we were sat there looking and my friend looks down and she freaks out and I was like ‘What?” This was posted on Sunday night, so we are assuming this is about Maddie.
