Courtney Ann Sanford, a 34-year-old woman who was considered to be an experienced driver, tragically lost her life in a car accident. While driving, she was listening to the song Happy by Pharrell Williams and decided to make a post about it on the social media.
She took a selfie and captioned it, “This song makes me happy!”
Sadly, that brief moment of choice proved deadly.
Only a minute later, Courtney’s car collided with a truck at around 60 km/h, propelling her vehicle into a ditch and then into a tree. The devastating impact set her car ablaze, and tragically, she was trapped inside and did not survive.
When her family was alerted, they also learned of her last Facebook post, uncannily timed with the incident. According to the law enforcement, “The post was made at 8:33 AM. At 8:34 AM, we received the emergency call.
This young woman’s tragic passing is a stern reminder to never text while driving because no text is worth a life.
When you text while driving, you’re endangering not only yourself but also your passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. The road requires your complete focus. Keep in mind that driving is a serious responsibility, not just a routine activity.
