From West Midlands Police :
We are appealing for information after a man died in a collision in Bournville last night (2 October).
We understand a red Ford Focus hit a tree on Linden Road near to the junction with Beaumont Road, Birmingham shortly before 11pm.
A man in his 20s suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital, but his injuries were so severe he sadly died.
Witnesses at the scene reported another man, believed to be the driver, was picked up in a blue Vauxhall Astra and fled the scene. We are now urgently appealing to this man to hand himself in.
Two women, aged 20 and 21, have been arrested in connection with our investigation and are currently in custody.
Inspector Stephen Radford, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of this man who are still coming to terms with what has happened. We have specialist family liaison officers supporting them at this very sad time.
“I want to appeal directly to the driver, who fled the scene leaving this man for dead. I urge you to come forward and speak to us and help us understand exactly what happened leading to this tragic incident.
“I want to thank all of the witnesses who have provided a statement, and ask anyone else with dashcam footage or any witnesses to contact us.”
