West Midlands Police are currently investigating a serious collision in Birmingham city centre in the early hours of this morning (Sunday 2 June).

Emergency services were called to reports of a collision involving three cars on A38(M) Aston Expressway just after midnight.

Despite the best efforts of emergency service colleagues, a man was sadly confirmed dead at the scene.

Two people left the scene before officers arrived and they were traced to an area away from the collision.

The two men aged 27 and 24 were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remain in police custody.

Officers are looking at CCTV and dash cam footage but are keen to hear from anyone with information who can help our investigation.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Sadly we are dealing with a very serious collision and working with partner agencies to establish what caused this collision to happen.

“Our thoughts are with the family of the man that has sadly passed away.

“The road has now been re-opened and I would like to thank everyone for their patience with the closures as we gathered evidence and made the road safe.

“I would ask anyone who witnessed the collision or has dash cam and hasn’t yet spoken with us to come forward with any information you have, no matter how small.”
