The 18-year-old pedestrian is believed to have been on his break when he was hit by a Mercedes-AMG at the junction of Hagley Road West and Wolverhampton Road in Quinton at around 11:40pm on Friday.

He was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police said his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.

Meanwhile the driver of the Mercedes ran away from the car, which was left a mangled wreck straddling the middle of the road near McDonald's and Anytime Fitness.

The silver high-performance car is believed to have mounted the kerb and travelled around 100 metres before hitting the teenager on the pavement and then smashing through central reservation barriers.
