Runaway trailer kills cyclist

[gclark8]

An elderly man has died after a runaway trailer pinned him against a fence in Sydney's south-west yesterday.

Police say the 81-year-old was pushing his bicycle along the footpath on Elizabeth Drive at Ashcroft about 1:30pm (AEST) when a box trailer detached from a passing four-wheel drive.
