The family of a Birmingham man who died after he was hit by a car, have paid tribute to him.

Donell Goodall was on his bike when he collided with a car on Brandwood Park Road at around 9.25pm on 3 January 2025.

The 25-year-old died in hospital a few days later.

In tribute, his family said: “Donell was a family man and for him everything was about his son who is just three years-old.

“He will be missed by all his family and friends and everyone who knew and loved him.

“Donell was a dedicated fitness fanatic who was fully committed to his family, the gym and his work.

“Donell was an honest, decent and reliable man. He will always be in our hearts.

“The family respectfully ask to be allowed the privacy to grieve in private.”

Meanwhile, West Midlands Police are still appealing for information on the collision, particularly dash-cam footage.
