West Midlands Police were called to Silver Birch Road, Erdington, just after 3pm yesterday (Saturday), following reports that a tree had fallen and hit a car as a result of the storm conditions.
Sgt Benjamin Parsons, of the force's roads policing unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the man’s family at this time, and his next of kin have been informed.
"A report will be passed onto the coroner.
"Anyone who saw what happened or who may have dashcam or mobile phone footage, is asked to please get in touch."
Anyone with information should contact police via Live Chat on the force's website, or by calling 101, quoting log 2695 of December 7.
It comes as the storm caused massive disruption in the West Midlands yesterday and a fresh yellow Met Office wind warning came into force across much of England and Wales at 6am.
It means that further travel disruption and power cuts are likely until 6pm, the Met Office said.
