A confident, experienced driver, Courtney was listening to Pharrell Williams’ hit “Happy” on her morning commute. Feeling upbeat, she snapped a quick selfie and posted it to Facebook with the caption, “This song makes me happy!”
Just moments later—at 8:34 a.m.—her car veered into oncoming traffic, struck a truck, and crashed into a tree. The vehicle caught fire. Courtney didn’t make it out.
Her final Facebook post was time-stamped 8:33 a.m.
This heartbreaking moment is a sobering reminder: no text, post, or selfie is worth your life. Distracted driving takes seconds—but the consequences last forever.
