Four men arrested over Birmingham New Road crash that killed two young brothers

Pawanveer Singh, aged 23-months-old, and Sanjay, 10, died in the Birmingham New Road crash on March 14.

They were travelling in a BMW with their mother when they were hit by an Audi S3 as they turned into Lawnswood Avenue.

The driver of the Audi fled the scene on foot.

Officers have been investigating the crash for the past six months and they have now arrested four men – aged 22, 23, 28 and 31 – on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of the justice.

All four have been released under investigation.

Two other men are also under investigation.

One of them is a 31-year-old man – who was from a third car, a Bentley – who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The other man, 23, was arrested days after the crash. Both have been released by police.

The crash sent shockwaves through the community.

About 300 people gathered to mourn the two boys, from the Dudley area, before their funeral at Gornal Wood Cemetery.

And classmates and staff at Cotwall End Primary School, Sedgley, where Sanjay was a pupil, were left heartbroken.

DC Karl Davies, from the serious collision investigation unit, said: “No one will ever forget that tragic evening which ripped a family apart.

"These arrests are part of our ongoing enquiries and we remain as determined as ever to get answers for the family of Pawanveer and Sanjay.”
