Woman killed in crash seconds
after posting on Facebook. Her
last words were heartbreaking!
Stay focused when you are on the road!
Distractions take a motorist’s attention off
driving. So, he can miss critical events,
objects, and cues or abandon control of a
vehicle, all potentially leading to a crash.
Distracted drivers put not only themselves
at risk, but everyone else using the road.
Authorities have used this accident to
remind drivers not to drive while distracted.
Courtney Sanford was driving to work in the
USA when she decided to share some
updates on Facebook, and post a few selfies.
A minute later, she was dead from a head-on
collision.
At 8:33am, the 32-year-old woman posted
“The happy song makes me HAPPY!” on her
Facebook. At 8:34, police got a call about
the crash.
Sanford crossed the median and drove head-
on into a truck, causing her car to catch fire.
She also caused the truck to run off the
road and hit a tree, though the driver was
uninjured.
“In a matter of seconds, a life was over just
so she could notify some friends that she
was happy,” High Point police Lt. Chris
Weisner said.
He added: “As sad as it is, it is a grim
reminder for everyone… you just have to pay
attention while you are in the car.”
