A Californian woman who tripped on a boardwalk crack and ruptured her breast implants has won €72,300 ($85,000) after suing her city over the incident.

Cynthia Hedgecock, the wife of the former mayor of San Diego, claimed that the incident caused considerable pain and anxiety, and left her with nearly €17,000 ($20,000) in medical bills after her silicone implant ruptured.
