One man has died and two others have been injured after a collision between two cars.

It happened on the A4041 Queslett Road in Great Barr, beside the Asda Supermarket at around 3.40am on Sunday morning.

Two ambulances, two paramedic officers and the MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic were sent to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance staff found two cares with significant damage.

“The driver of one of the cars, was initially trapped. As he was being freed, he was complaining of a medical condition but had also suffered multiple injuries.

“Sadly, his condition deteriorated rapidly and despite advanced life support being carried out, he was confirmed deceased at the scene.

“The two men in the other care were assessed by ambulance staff before being taken to Sandwell Hospital as a precaution; their injuries are not believed to be serious.”
