Man killed in wheelie bin crash

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Police say a 22-year-old man has been killed trying to ride a wheelie bin down a hill on the New South Wales central coast.

Officers say the man was lying on the bin with a 19-year-old on top of him when they hit a gutter at Umina Beach overnight.

He was thrown into a tree and died of massive head injuries.

The other man has been taken to hospital with broken ribs and internal injuries.

Sorry, Tony, but this doesn't scream "Darwin" at me. The other moderators may differ. Thanks anyway, and submit again.

Taking something that's not meant to be ridden at all and riding it down a hill at a high rate of speed is enough for me to qualify this idiot for a DA. Thanks, Tony!

"If it's got wheels, RIDE it" seems to be the mentality of these two bozos. Steering, apparently, isn't necessarily important! The math is quite simple, this doesn't happen everyday, and one of them lived to tell. I will go DA on this one!
