The man, the driver of a black BMW, died at the scene of the crash after the car hit street furniture in Lye just before 7pm on Friday.

Two other cars are believed to have been involved and police are seeking their drivers.

Now dozens of bouquets and balloons have been tied to a lamppost near the scene, outside a Skoda dealership in Stourbridge Road.

One balloon visible at the scene on Sunday said: "Rest in peace my brother. We love you."

West Midlands Police says two other cars are thought to have been involved, and officers are appealing for information on them and their drivers.

Neither car stopped at the scene after the crash.

One is described as "white, possibly a hatchback" and the other is "a small dark-coloured car".
