Woman Dies In Head-On Collision But When They Took Her Phone And Saw Her Facebook Page They Were Speechless

Police say a woman died in a head-on collision on a US highway just after updating her status and taking selfies on Facebook.

At 8:33 a.m. on Thursday, Courtney Sanford, 32, said on her Facebook page, “The happy song makes me so HAPPY.” At 8:34 a.m., police were called to report an accident.

According to the officers, Ms. Sanford was travelling alone when she over the centre reservation, crashed with a recycling truck, and caught fire, forcing the other vehicle off the road.

She was driving down Interstate 85 in North Carolina on her way to work at the time, and authorities said there was no evidence that her speed, drug usage, or alcohol consumption played a factor in the incident.

The Facebook link was not made public until this past weekend, when Ms. Sanford’s associates informed the police that several of her online posts appeared to have been published around the same time as the incident.

According to Lt Chris Weisner, a spokesman for the High Point Police Department, the crash was a real-life public service announcement “showing what happens when you text and drive,” as reported by WGHP TV.

According to Lt. Weisner, Ms. Sanford had been taking selfies on the freeway, as demonstrated by her social media accounts and the status update she wrote shortly before the crash.

“In a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could tell her pals she was happy. “It’s really not worth it,” he stated.

“Even though it is depressing, it serves as a sombre reminder for everyone—you just need to pay attention when driving.”

According to authorities, the truck was operated by John Wallace Thompson, 73, who was unhurt.
