Woman posts about ‘Happy’ song on Facebook seconds before fatal Business 85 crash [View all]

HIGH POINT, N.C. — Investigators believe a driver was posting to Facebook seconds before she crashed and died.

The wreck happened Thursday morning on Business 85 in High Point. Investigators say 32-year-old Courtney Ann Sanford crossed the median and crashed head-on into a truck.

Later on Thursday, investigators say some of Sanford’s friends and family told them about a Facebook post that Sanford made around the same time as the crash. Investigators discovered the Facebook post was made seconds before the deadly crash.

“The Facebook text happened at 8:33. We got the call on the wreck at 8:34,” explains Lt. Chris Weisner, with the High Point Police Department.

Why are headphones worse? nt Logical Apr 2014 #14

Probably because they mask out background noises The Straight Story Apr 2014 #15

To be honest, earphones may block out less background noise than a standard stereo system. Gravitycollapse Apr 2014 #16
