A woman lost her life in a head-on collision on a US highway moments after updating her status and posting selfies on Facebook. Courtney Sanford, 32, posted “The happy song makes me so HAPPY” at 8:33 AM on Thursday morning. Police were contacted about a crash at 8:34 AM. Sanford was driving alone on Interstate 85 in North Carolina when her car crossed the center reservation, hit a recycling truck, and caught fire.

The truck was forced off the road, but its driver, John Wallace Thompson, 73, was unharmed. Police found no evidence that speed, drugs, or alcohol played a role in the crash. The Facebook post was discovered by friends who informed the police. Lt. Chris Weisner of the High Point Police Department stated the crash served as “a real-life public service announcement showing what happens when you text and drive.” “In a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could notify some friends that she was happy. It’s really not worth it,” Weisner added. “You just need to pay attention when driving.”
