A Man Has Now Tragically Died After Suffering Serious Injuries Following A Hit-and-run Collision In Smethwick

A 29-year-old man was taken to hospital after being struck by a vehicle on Queens Road, near the junction of Wall Close, just before 1am yesterday (8 May).

Sadly he died later in the day and our thoughts, and support, are with his family and friends during this deeply distressing time.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes from the forces serious collision investigation unit said: “We’re working hard to identify the vehicle – and driver – involved in the collision and I know from CCTV that there were other drivers in the area at the time.

“I am particularly keen to speak with a cyclist who would have passed the man and the car involved but I remain keen to hear from anyone with information.

“I would also appeal direct to the driver of the car to do the right thing and come forward and speak to us. You will be in no doubt that you have been involved in a collision and it is important that you speak to us as soon as possible.”

We’re particularly interested in viewing any dash cam which could assist with our enquiries. You can email investigators direct at [email protected] or via Live Chat on our website and quote log 170 of 8 May.
