Most of us will admit to being glued to our mobile phones, but this motorcyclist has taken his obsession to another level.

A man has been pictured calmly playing on his mobile phone after being knocked from his motorbike.

These bizarre photos were taken in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, in southern China, according to People's Daily Online.

Calm casualty: The boxes flew from his motorbike but the Chinese man was still glued to his mobile phone

Traffic jam: The Chinese biker laid in the middle of the road as if nothing had happened after the crash

The motorcyclist was hit by a car at a busy junction in downtown Changsha on Tuesday.

The bike fell on its side and boxes he was delivering were left scattered across the road.

However, when police arrived, he refused to get up and told them he was waiting for an ambulance.

His insistence of remaining sprawled across on the road playing on his mobile phone caused major traffic disruptions.

Police confirmed the biker had been discharged from hospital after medics discovered he had only minor injuries.

Some social media users believe the man deliberately threw himself from his bike to claim compensation from the driver.

The photos were shared on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. One user said: 'After getting the compensation, what stock is he going to buy?'
