Authorities say a North Carolina woman who died in a car accident this week had just made a Facebook post about how happy Pharrell's "Happy" makes her. 

MyFox8 reports that the accident occurred on Thursday morning in High Point, N.C. when Courtney Ann Stafford reportedly drove over the median on Business 85 and hit a truck head-on. The 32-year-old's friends and family reportedly told investigators that she had posted on Facebook mere seconds before the fatal collision. 

"The Facebook text happened at 8:33. We got the call on the wreck at 8:34," High Point Police Lt. Chris Weisner told MyFox8 on Friday. "The Happy Song makes me so HAPPY" was her final post, MyFox8 says. Tragically, those were also her last words. 

After examining her online activity, investigators learned that Stafford also posted several selfies while driving prior to the accident. The driver of the truck was not injured.
