A tragic accident occurred when a 32-year-old woman, Courtney Sanford, lost her life in a head-on collision on a US highway, just moments after posting a Facebook status update and sharing selfies. The incident highlights the dangers of distracted driving, as Sanford’s last Facebook post was made only a minute before the crash was reported to police.

At 8:33 on Thursday morning, Courtney posted on her Facebook page, “The happy song makes me so HAPPY,” expressing her joy. Just one minute later, at 8:34, police were notified of a severe crash on Interstate 85 in North Carolina.

Sanford, who was driving alone, crossed the center reservation and collided with a recycling truck. The impact caused her car to catch fire, and the truck was forced off the road. Sanford tragically died in the accident.

According to authorities, there was no evidence of speeding, drug use, or alcohol involvement in the crash. She was simply on her way to work when the collision occurred. It wasn’t until later, when friends reported her online activity, that the connection between the Facebook post and the crash became apparent.

Her social media posts, including selfies and status updates, were made at the same time as the crash, revealing that she had been using her phone while driving
