Man dies in moped crash in Cotteridge in south Birmingham - can you help police?

A man has died following a collision last night on Pershore Road in Birmingham.

West Midlands Police said that the moped rider collided with a silver Mercedes car near the junction with Cotteridge Road at around 8pm.

Emergency first aid was performed on the 27-year-old in the street before he was transferred to hospital but sadly he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.

Police have notified the man’s next of kin and a specialist family liaison officer is offering them support at this tragic time.

The driver of the Mercedes stopped at the scene and provided a negative breath and drug test; officers said they will be speaking to them again at a later date as enquiries progress.

Police have also seized the car and moped as part of their investigation.

Officers are asking for anyone who saw what happened or has dash-cam footage of the car and moped before the collision to get in touch.
