A young man riding in a wheelie bin during some early morning high jinks with mates has died after being speared into a tree in NSW. The 22-year-old suffered head injuries after deciding to ride down a hill in the bin with a mate at Umina Beach, on the state's central coast, about 3am this morning, police say. He was unable to be revived after being flung from the bin into a tree. His 19-year-old mate is still being treated in Gosford Hospital for broken ribs and internal injuries. Both men, from Umina, were with a group of friends who were suddenly forced to treat their mates' injuries until help arrived. The pair had followed a solo bin rider who had safely completed the ride. |
