A man has died after he and another pedestrian were struck by a car in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.

It happened at the junction of Boldmere Road and Redacre Road at about 10:20pm yesterday.

A woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found one pedestrian, a man, who was receiving basic life support from fire colleagues.

“Sadly, it quickly became clear could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.

“The second pedestrian, also a man, was treated by ambulance staff for minor injuries but did not wish to go to hospital and so was given self-care advice and discharged at the scene.

“The driver of the car, a woman, was assessed by medics but was not injured and so was discharged at the scene."

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
