A man in his 20s has died and four other people have been injured after a car hit a railing on a busy city road.
The Hyundai car hit railings on Belgrave Middleway in Birmingham at about 10.30pm on Sunday. Emergency services were called, and four ambulances plus the Midlands Air Ambulance were sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived at the scene to find multiple patients involved in the collision, with one man having suffered life-threatening injuries.
