A driver, whose mother is a driving instructor, is standing accused of causing death by dangerous driving after she crushed a woman against a wall moments after apparently receiving a text message.
Keisha Wall, aged 19, veered off the road and into the path of 63 year old Christine Lyon in February 2010. The crash happened while she was in the car with her driving instructor mother.
Miss Wall denies the charge, despite witness testimony from a passing doctor that she saw the driver's 4x4 mount the pavement and drive along it.
Dr Olivia Walker told the court that "I jumped out of the way onto the dual carriageway. If I hadn't got into the road it would probably have hit me."
The court heard a police investigation showed Miss Wall, who was 18 at the time of the crash, had been sent a text message seconds before the fatal crash.
