A MAN has died in a three-car collision in Castle Bromwich during the rush hour today (Friday).
The 37-year-old suffered a serious head injury after his Peugeot 207 was struck on the Collector Road, near the junction of Lanchester Way.
Following the incident, at just before 8.30am, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have since confirmed that two men, aged 42 and 25, have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and will be questioned in due course.
The dual carriageway was closed off following the fatal incident.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes, from West Midlands Police, said: "A man has tragically lost his life and we will be doing everything we can to support his family at such a devastating time.
"We need to establish what led to this collision and we are urging anybody who was in the area at the time to come forward.
"We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw an orange Fiesta ST and black Golf GT TDI before the collision or has dash cam footage which could assist our enquiries."
West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed that the man, who has not been named, had to be freed from the vehicle. Despite efforts to save him he was confirmed dead at the scene.
A second man, from another vehicle, was treated for minor injuries and taken to Heartlands Hospital.
Witnesses or anyone with information should call police on 101.
