The heartbroken family of a man who was killed after being hit by a car in Birmingham have paid tribute to a “loving son, father, brother and nephew who was everything to us.”
Lee Baker was struck by a car on Ormscliffe Road in Rednal just before 5.10pm on Monday, with the 28-year-old sustaining serious injuries and later dying in hospital.
Two men, both aged 28, were arrested and taken into custody on suspicion of murder, with West Midlands Police confirming they have been given additional time to question them.
