Appeal for witnesses after fatal crash in Castle Bromwich

TRIBUTES have been paid to a local man who died days after being struck by a car in Castle Bromwich.
Alan Watkinson, who was fatally injured in the collision in Wyckham Road, was described as "a loving father and husband."
The 73-year-old was taken to hospital following the incident on Sunday, February 18, but tragically passed away six days later.
In a statement issued through West Midlands Police, Mr Watkinson's family said that he was a retired Jaguar Land Rover worker who will be "sadly missed" by his wife, two sons and grandchildren.
Police are now appealing for information about the crash, which happened at the junction with Windleaves Road.
The driver of the Vauxhall Zafira involved in the collision stopped at the scene and is co-operating fully with officers.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes said: "This is a tragic set of circumstances for all involved and Alan’s family are being supported by our dedicated family liaison team. I would ask at this stage that their privacy is respected.
"I would like to appeal to anyone who may have been in the area at the time and witnessed the actual collision to contact either myself or my team to help us piece together the circumstances."
If you have any information call the collision investigation team on 101.
