Cyclist hit by a bus avoids being paralysed- because phone was in back pocket

A cyclist knocked off his bike by a bus says he escaped being paralyzed - because his PHONE was in his pocket.

Lucky James Wilkinson, 39, was flung onto the windscreen of the vehicle and fell off it moments before it ploughed into the side of a house.

But dad-of-two says he was told by medics that he may have avoided being paralysed - because his phone was in his back pocket
