A man has died after a collision in Oldbury last night.

It happened around 8pm on Stone Street when a car hit fencing.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found one car had been involved in a collision and ended up on its roof.

“There were two patients.

“A man, believed to be a passenger, was found in a critical condition.

“After being removed from the car, ambulance crews immediately began administering advanced life support but sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.

“A second patient, a man, who was believed to be the driver, had suffered potentially life-changing injuries.

“He received advanced trauma care at the scene before being taken on blue lights to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham; MERIT travelled on board to provide continued treatment en route.”

West Midlands Police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
