Overview
- The late-night collision on August 22 on Brassington Avenue struck two pedestrians, with a 21-year-old woman pronounced dead at the scene and a second woman taken to Good Hope Hospital with potentially serious injuries.
- West Midlands Police say two men were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, with one released with no further action and the other bailed with conditions as enquiries continue.
- Investigators are asking anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage from the area, or who saw the silver Toyota Corolla before the crash, to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit.
- An extensive shrine of photos, flowers and messages has grown along the hoarding by the Aldi/Gracechurch site, and the area has been barriered off due to the volume of tributes.
- A petition calling for urgent road-safety changes on Brassington Avenue has passed 2,000 signatures, and local officials have pointed to planned traffic-calming work within the Sutton Gateway project.
