Courtney Ann Sanford, 32, an experienced driver, met a tragic end due to distracted driving. While driving, she joyfully posted a selfie on Facebook with the caption
“This song makes me happy!” as she listened to her favorite song, “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. Moments later, her car collided with a truck, resulting in a fatal crash. The impact, even at 60 km/h, propelled her vehicle into a ditch and ultimately a tree. The car caught fire, and trapped inside, Courtney burned alive. Astonishingly, her Facebook post coincided with the minute of the accident.
The police, alerted at 8:34, discovered the post made at 8:33, highlighting the immediate consequence of her distracted actions.
