A CHELMSLEY Wood pensioner involved in a collision with a car yesterday evening has died, police have confirmed.
The 79-year-old, who has not been named, had suffered serious injuries in the incident, which happened in Chester Road.
Eyewitnesses reported paramedics attending to the woman at the scene and she was rushed to Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
However, officers confirmed this afternoon that she had died a few hours after the collision, which happened at around 5.45pm.
The driver of the Ford Focus involved had remained at the scene and is helping the force with their enquiries.
PC Michelle O’Brien, from West Midlands Police, said: "Our thoughts remain with the family of this lady and we are supporting them at this traumatic time.
"We are still in the early stages of establishing what happened and would ask anyone with information; or was in the area and has dash cam footage to contact us."
Anyone with information about the collision should call officers on 101.
