On September 7th, 2017, Tatum, her dad, and her Mamaw were in a horrific car accident. Tatum had just been back in Arkansas to get her braces off. After flying back to Pensacola, they were driving back home to Gulf Shores. About 15 miles from the airport, they were rear-ended by a careless driver.
Tatum’s dad and Mamaw were thankfully not hurt severely. Unfortunately, Tatum was ejected from the Jeep and she sustained very traumatic injuries. She injured her spinal cord, broke her back, broke her pelvis, broke her wrist, broke a few ribs, fractured her neck, and dislocated her left hip.
Due to these injuries, Tatum is clinically paralyzed from the waist down.
