Woman dies in crash just seconds after posting selfie on Facebook

A woman has died in a car crash in the US mere seconds after posting selfies online and updating her Facebook status.

At 8.33am last Thursday morning Courtney Sanford wrote on her Facebook page: “The happy song makes me so HAPPY.” At 8.34am police were called to the scene of a car crash on a highway.

Ms Sanford was alone in her car when it crashed into a recycling truck and burst into flames. The other vehicle was driven off the road and its driver, 73-year-old John Wallace Thompson, walked away from the scene unharmed.
