Prosecutor Diana Helila told AK she was unaware of any analogous court decision in Estonia happening before.
The case involved a a cyclist traveling at speed down a minor country road in the village of Kaunissaare, Harju County, who suddenly changed their path to avoid a sleeping policeman -type speed bump, crossing to the other side of the road in the process.
The cyclist then hit a woman walking in the same direction, causing her serious injuries.
The cyclist was subsequently found guilty of causing injury through negligence.
Diana Helila said: An outcome depends on what kind of injuries an individual suffers collision with a cyclist. If the victim suffers minor injuries, then the incident does not constitute a crime, but rather a misdemeanor.
