A man has died after being hit by a car in Stetchford, Birmingham, last night.

The collision happened on Flaxley Road near to the junction with Audley Road just after 9pm, before the car fled the scene.

Detective Sergeant Rich Evans from the Serious Collision Investigation Team, said: “Enquiries are underway to trace the driver, but I would urge them to do the right thing and hand themselves in.

“We are carrying out CCTV enquiries in the area. Audley Road, Flaxley Road and Iron Lane will remain closed for most of this morning.

“We’re appealing for witnesses and for anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage, from around the area to come forward.”

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived at the incident they found a pedestrian, a man, in a critical condition. Sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save him, and the man was confirmed deceased on scene a short time later.”

Police are investigating and are urging the drive to hand themselves in.
