The collision, according to Lt Chris Weisner, a spokesman for the High Point Police Department, was a real-life public service announcement “showing what happens when you text and drive,” according to the WGHP TV station.
According to Lt. Weisner, Ms. Sanford had been taking selfies on the highway, as evidenced by her social media accounts, in addition to the status update she sent just before the collision.
“In a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could notify some friends that she was happy. It’s really not worth it,” he said.
“Even though it is depressing, it serves as a somber reminder for everyone—you just need to pay attention when driving.“
John Wallace Thompson, 73, was operating the truck, according to the police, and he was unharmed.
