Investigation continues after fatal collision in Sutton Coldfield

Our investigation is continuing following a fatal collision in Sutton Coldfield this weekend.

Officers investigating after a woman was killed in Brassington Avenue are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the collision to come forward.

Two pedestrians were hit by a car shortly before midnight on Friday.

A 21-year-old woman sadly died from her injuries at the scene, while another suffered a leg injury.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, with one released with no further action.

The other man has been bailed with strict conditions while our enquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "I would like to thank all those who have contacted us so far and all those that went to the aid of the two young women on the night.

"Our investigation is continuing, and we would particularly like to hear from anyone who saw the car involved, a silver Toyota Corolla immediately before the collision happened.

"If you have any CCTV from the surrounding area, you should get in touch with us to share what you know.

"This was a heartbreaking incident which has robbed a young woman of her life.

"Our officers are working with her family, who remain in our thoughts at this desperately sad time, and I would ask that their privacy is respected".
