Woman Dies In Car Wreck Moments After Posting About 'Happy Song' On Facebook

A North Carolina woman died Thursday in a car wreck, apparently moments after posting on Facebook how much she liked "the happy song."

Courney Ann Sanford, 32, of Clemmons, N.C. was driving on Business Route 85 in High Point, N.C., when her car crossed the median and hit a truck, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.

Sanford's car ran off the road and caught fire. She died at the scene. The truck also went off the road and hit a tree but its driver was unhurt.

Sanford had been wearing a seat belt but it wasn't on properly, police said.

Investigators ruled out drugs, alcohol and speed as possible causes of the crash, then learned later Thursday from her friends that Sanford had posted on her Facebook page at 8:33 a.m., High Point police Lt. Chris Weisner told WGHP. That was about a minute before authorities received their first call about the accident, he said.

The post read: "The happy song makes me HAPPY."

Tragic. May her soul rest in God's Eternal embrace now, and may her family find comfort in their sorrow during this Paschal season reflecting on the Resurrection of Christ.

In any event, everybody is posting songs so... if you all remember Frank Mills from "The Music Box Dancer" instrumental fame, here's another one of his songs.

The Happy Song
