A yoga teacher who stepped into the road while looking at her mobile phone has won damages from the cyclist who struck her.

A judge ruled that even though Gemma Brushett, 28, was distracted when she was hit by Robert Hazeldean, the cyclist was still liable - declaring: "Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways."

Ms Brushett, from Kent, was knocked out when the pair collided near London Bridge on July 20 2015 as she crossed the road with other pedestrians during rush hour.

She was looking at her mobile phone when crossing the road from east to west, and only noticed Mr Hazeldean approaching at the last moment.

She "panicked" and tried to dodge back to a traffic island, but the cyclist, who had been travelling at between 10-15mph, swerved in the same direction and hit her.

Mr Hazeldean had come through a green traffic light, and had sounded a loud airhorn attached to his Specialized roadbike, as well as shouting, swerving and braking in a bid to avoid the pedestrian.

Ms Brushett's lawyers told the judge that she could not remember anything about the crash due to "post traumatic amnesia".
