Pedestrian fighting for his life after being hit by car in Brierley Hill

The 34-year-old pedestrian suffered a serious head injury after being struck by a red Subaru XV in Brettell Lane at around 7pm on Thursday evening.

The driver of the Subaru, which was on trade plates, stayed at the scene and has been spoken to by officers after the incident but so far nobody has been arrested.

The crash happened just down from the junction with Hawbush Road, near Oakfield Community Centre.

A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and a MERIT trauma doctor attended the scene.

"On arrival we discovered one patient, a man, who was the pedestrian. He had suffered serious injuries in the incident and received specialist trauma care at the scene before being taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham for further treatment."

West Midlands Police closed the road while specialist collision investigators examined the scene.

The Subaru was left behind the cordon next to a bus stop with damage to the front driver's-side of the windscreen.

A spokesman for the force said: "We’re still working hard to establish the circumstances leading to this collision and anyone with information, particularly those with dash cam footage, should get in touch."

Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police via its website or by emailing fl_collision_invest@westmidlands.police.uk, quoting 3252 of 06/01/22.
