A mum who died during the school run when her car veered into the path of a lorry may have been distracted by watching Love Island on her mobile, an inquest heard.
Charlotte Buesden, 28, was killed after her Nissan Qashqai collided with the front of the HGV on a busy road in Sittingbourne, Kent in August.
Charlotte, from Sheerness, had dropped her son off at school before her car swayed into oncoming traffic at 7.30am, DC Bob Fursey said.
He said the lorry driver had no chance of avoiding a collision, DC Bob Fursey said.
He said the mum's phone was found on the dashboard, alongside a magnetic phone clip, with an error message displaying on the ITV Hub app.
The phone had disconnected from an episode of Love Island, but there was no evidence of her sending messages or using data before the collision.
DC Fursey added: "It is suggested she may have been distracted by watching Love Island by looking at or reaching for her phone.
"The reason for the loss of control from Ms Buesden's car is not explained, but she was distracted from steering, and this most likely came from being distracted by her phone."
One witness, who was two cars behind Charlotte, explained seeing the car approach a slight bend but, instead of steering, stayed straight and began to "veer into the wrong lane", before the crash.

PC Duncan Swallow, a forensic collision officer, told the court that dashcam footage from the HGV lorry was poor, but it appeared to show Charlotte, of Sheerness, looking in the direction and extending her arm in the direction of where her phone would've been mounted.
DC Swallow went on to say there were no weather conditions that would've played a part in the accident and it appeared she may have been distracted by her phone.
She 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.
Following the tragedy, more than 40 bouquets of flowers, messages, and even a small bottle of Prosecco were left in her memory.
One friend, Fran, wrote: "You are too young, too beautiful and too kind to be gone. You are part of all my fun times. I have so many amazing memories of you I will treasure forever.
"You were an amazing mummy. I so wish we had more time together, more laughs, jokes, and love but it's been so cruelly taken away.
"I will never forget you and I will love you always."
A Facebook memorial has also been dedicated to her. It reads: "We hope that people who love Charlotte will find comfort in visiting her profile to remember and celebrate her life."
