Man critical after hit-and-run in Birmingham
He was struck by a vehicle on Boulton Middleway on Saturday morning.
A man is in a critical condition in hospital after a hit-and-run in Birmingham.
Police were called to Boulton Middleway shortly after 5.30am this morning (21 October) after a man was found with head injuries.
Paramedics from West Midlands Ambulance Service carried out treatment at the scene before he was transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
DS Paul Hughes, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said, “At this stage we believe the man has received his injuries after being struck by a vehicle which hasn’t stopped.
"It is likely the vehicle would have been travelling towards the general direction of the Jewellery Quarter and the collision would have occurred just before Key Hill Circus.
“This is a busy stretch of road and I know from CCTV that a number of vehicles passed the scene or stopped and I need the occupants of those vehicles to get in touch as you may hold key evidence to help us put together the events from last night. Anyone with CCTV of the area or dashcam should contact us.
“I would also appeal direct to the driver of the vehicle involved. I need you to come forward and tell me what happened last night. The man is in a critical condition and his loved ones deserve answers. Now is the time to do the right thing.”
