Pharrell's "Happy" Ended The Life Of A North Carolina Woman!
A woman on her way to work was on her phone posting on the social networks when she crashed into a recycling truck near High Point, North Carolina.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family at Courtney Sandford.
Her friends tell the law that she was posting on Facebook about the time she would lose control of her vehicle and cross the median. By crossing the median, she struck the truck and was killed instantly.
The woman posted on the social networking site that she was listening to "Happy", the smash hit from entertainer Pharrell Williams.
Well it turns tragic and the North Carolina police are investigating why should didn't watch what she was doing before the crash.
Courtney Sandford was a 32 year old woman with a vibrant life. It was a horrible tragedy that could have been adverted says the law.
The Closer Online reports that she was on a stretch of Business Interstate 85 around the rush hour. Courtney posted a tweet reading: ‘The happy song makes me HAPPY!’ According to authorities, the tweet was posted at 8.33am and the first 911 call was just a minute later.
Courtney was wearing a seatbelt, but police have said that it wasn’t fastened properly.
Sadly, the timing of the tweet along with a series of selfies taken by the victim revealed that she was using her phone whilst driving.
About 90% of American citizens own and operate a cell phone. The land line phone is on the decline and most Americans are now getting all their needs through their phone.
And with the phone comes the responsibility. Smartphone theft is on the rise and people are losing their lives over this. The companies and software developers are working to prevent this from happening. They are creating freeware and anti-theft tools to keep track of a stolen phone.
States are passing stricter laws that fine, vehicle operators who are on the road while on the phone.
I admit that I often do a lot of texting on the phone while operating a vehicle. That is extremely dangerous.
Many Americans lost their lives on the highways because of a five second text or a phone conversation.
You don't get an opportunity to avoid a hazard when you're arguing with a friend or family member.
You crash into a vehicle. Either you kill someone or you're the one!
We all must use common sense when using a cellphone!
