Some lessons, in my opinion, should always be promoted by our society, regardless of how often they have been taught.
I am referring to the type of lessons you are familiar with. I’m talking about things like how crucial it is to treat everyone equally, how crucial it is to ensure that our children have a quality education, or the proper way to operate heavy machinery, like an automobile.
It never hurts to go over these ideas again, even though we have been taught them all numerous times. Take, for example, the later of those three subjects.
Now that we hear so many horror stories these days, I think every reader knows how dangerous it may be to drive a car without paying close attention to it.
However, you’ve probably never heard a story quite like this one, despite the fact that you’ve certainly heard a lot about the catastrophes that can happen when someone drives recklessly.
Even though it occurred in 2014, ten years ago, we at Newsner believe the message it conveys is still pertinent today.
It concerns a woman who was murdered in a head-on collision on a US highway just moments after updating her Facebook profile and taking selfies while driving her car.
At 8:33 a.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2014, 32-year-old Courtney Sanford wrote on Facebook, “The happy song makes me so HAPPY,” according to The Independent.
According to reports, police were called to an accident scene around 8:34 a.m.
Authorities say that Courtney was traveling alone when her car over the center reservation, crashed with a recycling truck, and caught fire.
Although authorities admitted they had not found any evidence linking speed, drugs, or alcohol to the fatal collision, Lt. Chris Weisner, a spokesman for the High Point authorities Department, said the incident was a warning for “showing what happens when you text and drive.”
In a matter of seconds, a life was taken so she could tell her friends she was happy. It’s really not worth it,” Weisner said.
It’s a sad lesson to everyone that you just need to pay attention when driving, no matter how dismal it is.
The recycle truck’s driver, John Wallace Thompson, 73, was unharmed in the collision.
This anecdote should serve as a timely reminder that driving while distracted can never result in anything great, however how awful it is.
