Man dies as toy plane flies into his head

A toy plane has killed a 53-year-old man in a freak accident in the German city of Stuttgart.

A tiny remote-controlled model aircraft collided at full speed with the man's head on Sunday, police said. He died in hospital the same day.

The model was being piloted by a 45-year-old man on the Gruener Heiner, a hill on the north-west outskirts of the city popular with paraglider flyers and model-plane enthusiasts.

Police blamed the accident on strong gusts of wind as stormy weather crossed Germany.
