Two die after car crashes into wall in Black Country
Two men died after a car crashed into a wall in the Black Country last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Brettell Lane in Brierley Hill at 11.59pm to reports of a blue Citroen ZX crashing into a wall outside the Nail and Tanning Studio.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics two men, aged 28 and 34 were pronounced dead at the scene.
Claire Brown, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman, said: "Sadly, upon arrival, it quickly became apparent to ambulance staff that nothing could be done to save one man in the car and he was confirmed dead.
"The second occupant, a man, sustained multiple serious injuries and was trapped. Once extricated from the car, his condition rapidly deteriorated at the roadside and despite advanced life support by the team of ambulance staff the man couldn't be saved and he was also confirmed dead."
PC Karl Davies, from West Midlands Police's Collision Investigation Unit, said: "We are trying to establish how this crash occurred and are appealing for witnesses.
"I would like to hear from anyone who saw a blue Citroen ZX driving in the Brierley Hill area prior to the incident.
"Two families have been devastated by the loss of their loved ones and even the smallest piece of information could help us piece together what happened."
Collision investigators can be contacted on 101 or alternatively information can be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
