‘Kind and generous’ - Tributes to son Aqeel Ahmed who died in A38 Sutton Coldfield Bypass road collision

Tributes have been paid to a ‘kind and generous’ son who died following a collision in Sutton Coldfield.

Aqeel Ahmed was driving a car which was in collision with a tanker lorry on the A38 Sutton Coldfield Bypass at around 10.30pm last Friday (October 27).

Sadly nothing could be done to save the 28-year-old and police said they are supporting his family at this devastating time.

In a statement they said: "Aqeel our beloved son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend has left this temporary abode. Aqeel was always smiling and his loss will be felt by everyone that knew him. He was reliable, hardworking, kind and generous and had a love for cars and the gym.  Please respect the family and give us time to grieve."

A 19-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries which were not life threatening. A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Our investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information, or dash cam footage, is asked to contact us.
