Jamie Lynn Spears Reflects on Daughter’s 2017 ATV Accident After Gifting Her a New ATV for Christmas
Jamie Lynn Spears is looking back at a harrowing day.
On Thursday, February 5, the Sweet Magnolias actress, 34, posted an Instagram carousel with photos from her daughter Maddie Watson’s near-fatal 2017 ATV accident to mark the 9th anniversary.
“MIRACLE ANNIVERSARY🪽🤍,” Spears wrote in the post’s caption. “I will never take for granted the gift we were given, bc I’m very aware that so many times in these situations that is not the case.”
“Thank you to every first responder, medical professional, friend, family, every single person who prayed for her, and ABOVE ALL THANK YOU GOD🙏🏻 go love on your people extra today, at the end of the day that is all that really matters,” she concluded.
The 2017 accident occurred when Maddie — then 8 years old — was riding on an ATV, and it flipped into a pond, leaving her submerged underwater for minutes. Maddie was subsequently hospitalized and was in a coma.
Maddie, now 17, shared her mom’s post on her Instagram Story, adding Andrea Bocelli’s “Hallelujah.” She also shared a photo of a hand-drawn card that read “Miracle anniversary” on her story and wrote “our God is good!!” on top of the snap.
Spears’ post comes just weeks after she gifted Maddie a new ATV for Christmas.
As Globe previously reported, the Zoey 101 alum included a snap of the teen and her younger sister, Ivey, 7, sitting on a red ATV with a bow reading “Maddie,” in an Instagram Carousel from the holidays.
