Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter Maddie has sustained serious injuries from an off-roading accident Sunday, according to authorities and a spokesman for the family.
The accident, first reported by TMZ, occurred as the 8-year-old was riding in a Polaris off road vehicle, more commonly called an ATV, in Kentwood, La., when it flipped over into a pond. TMZ reported Maddie was submerged under water for several minutes and unconscious before being airlifted to a nearby hospital.
Citing a police statement released by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Department, People.com reports the 8-year-old was "trapped and secured" by the seatbelt and the ATV’s safety netting in freezing waters.
