The grieving family of a 25-year-old Walsall father-to-be who died in a collision with a car have pleaded for the public to help police with investigations into his death.
Jamie Taylor, from Pelsall, died after the collision at Minworth Island Roundabout, Sutton Coldflied, near the Asda store, on Thursday.
He was treated for serious injuries but later died in hospital.
His family came forward following an appeal to identify the 25-year-old and they have issued a heartfelt tribute which reads: "We are truly saddened by the loss of our loving son, brother, boyfriend and soon to be dad -words cannot express how devastated we are at this time .
"We urge anyone with any information about the fatal collision that took Jamie away from us to come forward as soon as possible, to help the police with their on-going investigations.
"At this desperately tragic time, we would appreciate our privacy to be respected whilst we grieve."
Officers investigating the crash continue to appeal to witnesses to come forward.

"I would also like to urge witnesses, who have not spoken to the police yet, to contact me or one of my team.
"The family of Jamie are being supported by specially trained officers and our thoughts are with them at this sad time."
