Man killed after being hit by cars in Birmingham
Police say he was struck by a number of vehicles.
A man has died after being hit by a number of vehicles near the Aston Expressway in Birmingham.
The 54-year-old is thought to have been hit by a car which did not stop, and was then hit by a second car moments later which did stop.
The victim died at the scene, at the junction of Bagot Street and the A38, shortly before 10pm last night (Friday).
A short time later, a man was arrested at an address in Willenhall in Walsall on suspicion of causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink.
The 32-year-old remains in custody.
A number of vehicles have been recovered as part of the investigation, and a number of drivers have been spoken to.
Specialist officers have been working at the scene overnight to investigate how the tragedy happened, but the road has now opened again.
PC Chris Ridge, from our serious collision investigation unit, said: “The man’s family have been given the very sad news, and our thoughts are with them today.
“We’re still trying to establish exactly what happened, and have already spoken to a number of witnesses.
“Sadly, we believe the man may have been hit by a number of vehicles while in the road, and it’s possible those motorists are unaware that they have been involved.
“If you were driving in the area at the time, or have dash cam or mobile phone footage from the area, we really want to hear from you.”
