On February 5, 2017, Spears' eight-year-old daughter Maddie almost drowned in a Polaris [[All-terrain vehicle|ATV]] accident, after accidentally driving into the pond on her stepfather and mother's Louisiana property, with the ATV flipping over upon impact. She was later airlifted to [[Children's Hospital of New Orleans]], where she remained unconscious in a coma for two days. She woke up and was released from care on February 10.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Petit |first=Stephanie |date=March 6, 2017 |title=Jamie Lynn Spears Reflects on 'Living a Mother's Worst Nightmare' One Month After Daughter's Accident |url=https://people.com/parents/jamie-lynn-spears-reflects-daughter-maddies-accident-emotional-post/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727223713/https://people.com/parents/jamie-lynn-spears-reflects-daughter-maddies-accident-emotional-post/ |archive-date=July 27, 2021 |access-date=July 27, 2021 |publisher=People (magazine)}}</ref> Police reported the incident as occurring before 3:00&nbsp;p.m. on a Sunday afternoon, and the sheriff explained that she was steering "100 yards from her parents" when she took "a hard right to avoid running over a nearby drainage ditch".
