Public raise £45,000 for cyclist ordered to pay woman who stepped into road

A cyclist facing bankruptcy after being ordered to pay a woman who
stepped in front of him while using her phone has thanked the public who
donated more than £45,000 to help him. The fundraising drive has raised
more than double its initial target of £21,300 to meet the estimated
legal costs of Robert Hazeldean. Mr Hazeldean – who is also facing a
£100,000 court bill – said he would be ‘forever thankful’ to the more
than 3,000 people who donated to the gofundme appeal. A hearing to
decide the final court costs will take place at a later date and
crowdfunders say that anything left from the end total will be donated
to ActionAid. Mr Hazeldean had sponsored a child through the charity for
13 years, but recently had to stop because of the financial pressures
around his case.
