The teenager was among four people injured in the collision between a Ford Focus and a Peugeot 3008 on Coopers Bank Road at around 10.45pm on Friday, June 16.

Two women, aged 21 and 22, from the Focus and a 26-year-old woman from the Peugeot have been treated for injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.

The driver of the Focus is believed to have left the scene, and West Midlands Police officers arrested a 20-year-old man on Sunday on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of a collision.

He has been released on police bail while the investigation continues.
