The woman's phone was found on the dashboard with an error message showing on the ITV Hub app.

DC Bob Fursey told the hearing Buesden’s car had veered into oncoming traffic at 7.30am and the lorry driver had no chance of avoiding a collision.

Fursey added: “It is suggested she may have been distracted by watching Love Island by looking at or reaching for her phone. Forensic collision officer PC Duncan Swallow told the court that dash cam footage from the HGV lorry was poor, but it appeared to show Ms Buesden, of Alma Road, Sheerness, looking in the direction and extending her arm in the direction of where her phone would’ve been mounted.

Ms Buesden suffered a severe fracture of the skull and coroner Bina Patel’s official verdict was that her death was due to a road traffic collision.
