The new era of selfies is one in which every emotions has be carefully recorded and posted on social media. For this woman, it was enough saying that she is happy. Unfortunately, the selfie she took was the last one.

Courtney Stanford died on April 26, 2014 in North Carolina, when her car veered across the center of the road and collided with ongoing traffic. The car hit a truck just before being sent outside the road and directly into a tree.

Apparently, the woman was listening to Pharrell Williams’s “Happy” song and this distracted her beyond what is considered safe on public roads. Her selfie was so good the family decided to keep it for the funeral.
