style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;"> A runaway trailer which crushed a man to death ran down a hillside "like a train", a court has heard. </span><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Stephen Hayfield, 39, of Hallen, near Avonmouth, died from multiple injuries in November 2000, after the trailer became detached from its tractor. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Bristol Crown Court heard on Tuesday the trailer was put on the roads in a dangerous condition. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">The owners of the trailer, Somerset-based agricultural contractors Dennis Clothier and Sons; one of the firm's directors, Julian Clothier, 33, of Chewton Mendip; and farm worker Simon Burrows, 27, of Bath, all deny the manslaughter of Mr Hayfield. </span></p><p> <!-- GENInlineBOX --> <span class="body"

<span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">The court heard farm worker Mr Burrows had been trying to tow the trailer - loaded with straw and weighing the equivalent of two double-decker buses - up a steep country lane. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">As the tractor struggled up the hill, the hitch mechanism connecting the tractor to the trailer failed under the strain. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Paul Garlick, prosecuting, said: "He (Mr Hayfield) must have seen the trailer careering down the hill towards him and he decided to abandon his car. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">"Sadly that decision to abandon his car cost him his life." </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Mr Hayfield stumbled as he tried to escape and was struck by the trailer as it veered towards him.

all three defendants were guilty of "gross negligence" because they should have known that the hitch mechanism on the tractor and trailer was "badly worn" and that there was a "real risk" it could become detached. </span></p><p> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Mr Burrows was the regular driver of the unit and had attached the trailer himself on the morning of the crash, the court heard. </span></p><p> <!-- GENInlineBOX --> <span class="body" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;"> <table class="boxbody" align="right" bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="0"

trailer, owned by Woolsingham based Fletcher Marquees, became detached from a lorry while being towed through the village in September 1999. </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:85%;">Ms Smith was crushed against a wall when the trailer mounted a pavement as she walked with her two young daughters. </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:85%;">The force of the impact demolished a stone wall by the roadside and a telegraph pole. </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:85%;">Ms Smith suffered multiple injuries and died soon afterwards in the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle. </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:85%;">The coroner, delivering his verdict in Carlisle on Friday morning, criticised the lack of maintenance of the trailer and said Ms Smith's death could have been prevented.
