A man has died after a collision in Oldbury last night.

It happened around 8pm on Stone Street when a car hit fencing.

“There were two patients.

“A man, believed to be a passenger, was found in a critical condition.

“After being removed from the car, ambulance crews immediately began administering advanced life support but sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.

“A second patient, a man, who was believed to be the driver, had suffered potentially life-changing injuries.
