What an idiot. Facebook, it's killer.

[null and void]

I hope no one else was hurt.

” Clemmons, updated her Facebook status with: “The happy song makes me HAPPY” one minute before the crash”

I guess it makes her DEAD, as well. Good Riddance!

Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel.
Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel.
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
Gonna have a real good-time.

Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, all night long.

Jordan Howse, Education Reporter:

Jordan is a 2011 graduate of Winston-Salem State University. She has worked at The High Point Enterprise for two years. She covers education (Guilford, Davidson, Randolph county schools and higher education) and nonprofits and covered business prior to that.
Her senior year, she was the editor-in-chief of The News Argus, the university's award-winning student newspaper.

Judging from the writing, I assumed Jordan was a high school intern. Now looking at her I noticed she was not hired because of her brains.

I hope the owners and the driver of the van sue her estate to recoup their losses.

Lady absolutely needed to be deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happy...

Just for other people’s protection.

Pay attention.

Facebook is evil.

Singing Happy in High Point is just baiting the gods of irony.

One moment’s lapse of judgment can kill you. It can also kill someone else. I do not understand why people use their cell phones while driving.

For a change the idiot that caused the accident died, usually they live and kill some innocent person.

The Powers That be said, “Happy Now?”

[dangus]

If you know the song Happy, it’s all the more ironic that she no longer has a roof.

(If you don’t know the song Happy, can I visit you on your remote, desert Island?)

From another source, it said the truck driver was not injured. The truck is out of commission for awhile if not totaled.

Cops say she was doing approx 45 mph.

[csvset]

I had heard of it, but hadn't actually heard it until moments ago, ( I had to see what the fuss was about.)

I prefer the Doors' Road House Blues

[martiangohome]

Good riddance? Ugly.

We need a 30 day waiting period for iPhones, with high capacity cameras. Facebook should be outlawed, outright. It serves no useful social purpose.
