Woman died in head-on collision seconds after uploading Facebook status

The 2014 death of 32 -year-old Courtney Sanford remains a sobering reminder of the dangers of distracted driving.

While driving, Sanford posted a Facebook update at 8:33 a.m. that read, “The cheerful song brings me immense joy.” Just one minute later, her vehicle crossed the median and collided head-on with a recycling truck, bursting into flames. She died at the scene. Investigators found no signs of intoxication or excessive speed and concluded that the crash was caused by texting while driving. The truck driver, 73-year-old John Wallace Thompson, was unharmed. Lieutenant Chris Weisner emphasized that the crash underscores how “in just a few seconds, a life came to an end,” urging drivers to understand that no message is worth a life. Sanford’s tragic story continues to be cited as a powerful warning against distracted driving. It illustrates how even a moment of inattention behind the wheel can result in irreversible loss.
