Police were contacted about a crash at 8:34 AM.<\/p>\n
Sanford was driving alone on Interstate 85 in<\/p>\n
North Carolina when her car crossed the center reservation, hit a recycling truck, and caught fire.<\/p>\n
The truck was forced off the road, but its driver, John Wallace Thompson, 73, was unharmed.<\/p>\n
Police found no evidence that speed, drugs, or alcohol played a role in the crash.<\/p>\n
The Facebook post was discovered by friends who informed the police.<\/p>\n
Lt. Chris Weisner of the High Point Police Department stated the crash served<\/p>\n
as \u201ca real-life public service announcement showing what happens when you text and drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could notify some friends that she was happy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really not worth it,\u201d Weisner added.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just need to pay attention when driving.\u201d<\/p>\n
