The family of a man killed in a road traffic collision in Lye have paid tribute to ‘a pure soul with the biggest heart.’

Zayn Ahmed, 21, died at the scene after the black BMW 325 M Sport he was driving struck street furniture on the Stourbridge Road, just before 7pm last Friday (Nov 10).

His family have released a tribute to Zayn - with the statement reading "Zayn was a loving son and brother, loved dearly by his friends and family.""

“He was always kind and was a generous, reliable young man who we were proud to call a son and brother. A pure soul with the biggest heart. A gorgeous smile that could light the whole world up. He was a selfless individual who never failed to put the needs of others before his own.

“This is a huge loss to all that knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed.

“May Allah elevate him to the highest ranks of Jannah. We kindly ask of you to read Al Fatiha for him.

“If you can please respect the family at this sad time and allow us to grieve in private.”

Police say they're continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Zayn's death - and believe two other cars were involved and could have contributed to the collision.

Officers have arrested two men, aged 24 and 21, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Both have been interviewed and released on police bail while enquiries continue.
