A PEDESTRIAN using her smartphone only realised she was about to be hit by a tram seconds before the collision, new video has revealed.
The horrific footage shows the woman standing on the tram tracks using her phone before she sees the tram bearing down on her.
The woman, who had been waiting to cross the busy Rusakovskaya Street, was rushed to hospital but died soon after.
