A man had died following a collision in Birmingham last night.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 7.03pm to reports of a RTC involving a car and a pedestrian on Coventry Road in the Sheldon area.

It happened between the junctions of Wells Road and The Glade.

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and a Critical Care Car from The Air Ambulance Service attended the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said:

“Upon arrival we found a man who was the pedestrian in a critical condition.

Ambulance staff on scene immediately began administering advanced life support.

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of staff on scene, it became apparent that nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene.

The driver of the car did not require assessment.”

West Midlands police say the driver is helping with their enquiries and are keen to hear from anyone else who was in the area at the time.
