NAGSALITA na si Britney Spears tungkol sa all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident ng kanyang pamangkin na si Maddie nitong Lunes at humingi ng panalangin sa kanyang mga tagahanga.
Nag-post sa Twitter ng sweet na larawan ni Maddie, ang walong taong gulang na anak ng kanyang nakababatang kapatid na si Jamie Lynn Spears – at nilagyan ito ng caption ng Toxic singer, 35, na, “Need all the wishes and prayers for my niece.”
Ayon sa isang source sa People, nagtungo si Britney sa Louisiana para makasama ang kanyang pamilya. Nitong Lunes, kinumpirma ng People na si Maddie, na kasalukuyang nasa “critical but stable” na kondisyon, ay naaksidente sa ATV noong Linggo.
Nang paandarin ang sasakyan para makaiwas sa drainage, sumobra ang pagliko ni Maddie at dumiretso ang ATV sa lawa, ayon sa police report. “The ATV and child were instantly submerged in the water right before their eyes.”
“Within seconds the child’s mother, stepfather and other family members reached the pond, dove in and attempted to rescue the child to no avail,” ayon pa sa report. “The child was trapped and secured by the seatbelt and the ATV’s safety netting. Within two minutes, Acadian Ambulance Services arrived and assisted in freeing the child from the cold waters.”
“This is an extremely tragic accident. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking you to keep this family in your constant prayers as they try to cope with this horrible incident. We ask that you respect their privacy during this time of need.”
