(about 11 hours later) | |
The victim of a fatal hit-and-run was deliberately run over, police have said. | |
A 46-year-old man from Olton, Solihull, died when a dark-coloured Volkswagen Golf hit him as he walked along the pavement on Warwick Road, at about 17:00 BST on Monday. | |
West Midlands Police, which has launched a murder investigation, said the car drove off towards Acocks Green. | |
The force has appealed for witnesses and dashcam footage taken at the time. | |
Det Insp Justin Spanner said the car would have been "noticeably damaged as a result of the collision". | |
"I would urge anyone who has seen a car which matches this description and may have been dumped in a street or hidden away in a garage to call us as soon as possible," he said. | |
