A yoga teacher who was knocked unconscious by a commuter on a bike has been handed a compensation payout - despite a judge finding that she stepped into the road while staring at her phone.
Cyclist Robert Hazeldean is set to pay out thousands in damages and court costs after being sued by Gemma Brushett, 28.
Garden designer Mr Hazeldean was returning from work in central London to his then home in Archway when he collided with Ms Brushett as she crossed the busy junction of King William Street and Cannon Street, at the north end of London Bridge, at 5pm on July 20, 2015.
Both he and Ms Brushett, from Kent, were knocked out by the impact, with Mr Hazeldean suffering cuts and Ms Brushett a minor head injury.

She subsequently launched a bid for compensation, blaming Mr Hazeldean, who now lives in southern France, for the accident.
Judge Shanti Mauger at Central London County Court said the cyclist was "a calm and reasonable road user" and that Ms Brushett "was looking at her phone" when she walked into the road in front of him.
But she went on to rule that Mr Hazeldean was liable to pay damages, saying: "Cyclists must be prepared at all times for people to behave in unexpected ways."

The court heard that Ms Brushett, who works for a finance firm in the City as well as running yoga retreats, was one of a "throng" of people trying to cross the road at the start of rush hour when the accident occurred.

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.
