A woman dies in a car crash just after taking a Selfie!

[Scotsman37]

Now this woman was an accident waiting to happen, and I think this recent push for taking Selfies is now starting to backfire BIG time due to reckless idiots which are also a danger to other road users, especially bikers!

A driver has died in a head-on collision moments after posting a Facebook selfie and status update from behind the wheel, telling friends how happy she was.

Courtney Sanford added the post to her Facebook timeline at 8.33am as she drove to work.

Police were called to the accident just one minute later.

The 32-year-old's car crossed the central reservation and smashed into a recycling truck before bursting into flames.

The driver of the truck, which hit a tree, was not seriously hurt.

Police said Ms Sanford was travelling along Interstate 85 in North Carolina when the Facebook updates were posted and there was no evidence of drink or drugs.

The link to Facebook emerged after friends of the victim told officers a number of her online posts appeared at around the same time as the accident.

Police said Ms Sanford posted a series of pictures of herself as she drove along the road.

Now i would say serves her right.
but I don't think you deserve to die for being a stupid twat, just wish other people can learn and not put themselves and others at risk.

Just like I do with any other close-up face shot, I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the rest of her.

One down, far too many to go. She could have killed a biker, or even a person.

Expect a bit of dental work is required on the smile now, but otherwise what a great picture... Definately worth it.

Zero sympathy from me - everyone is told to pay attention when driving - if you don't, sad times. At best for the driver - at worst, for all the innocent people they hit.

BAN SELFIES!

Not a bad idea TBH

[Clutchy]

Meh, if I licked a power line you'd all laugh, this lady went one step further and licked a power line that could have killed others.




Won't somebody please think of the children.


No real loss here.

Might be a bit late now, but she needs a better camera phone. Quality on that is a bit crap.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this turned out to be the selfie that finally cured cancer....
