A talented cellist fears her dreams of turning professional have been shattered after she nearly lost her arm when she was run over by a lorry.
Cyclist Laura Armstrong, 23, says she picked her arm off the road and couldn't move her fingers after the crash in Stratford, London.
The young musician was forced to drop out of a prestigious music college and put her career on hold after suffering severe injuries to her right arm.
The 23-year-old, who has performed with world famous conductors and composers including Sir Mark Elder and the late Oliver Knussen, was knocked down when a lorry crossed into her cycle lane.
