Man dies in NSW gyrocopter crash

A man is dead after his gyrocopter crashed on the NSW south coast.

Police say the gyrocopter was flying over Brundee, near Nowra, on Sunday when it came down heavily into a paddock on Greenwell Point Road.

The sole occupant died at the scene, a NSW police spokesman said.

A member of the public called police after finding wreckage in a paddock about 10.15am.
