The family of the woman who died after being struck by a car in Smethwick have paid tribute to her.
Baljit Kaur was struck by a car on Thimblemill Road, Smethwick shortly before 9.30pm on Thursday (August 28) and tragically died at the scene.
The family of the 62-year-old woman, who was a pedestrian in the incident, have now paid tribute to her, saying she worked as a carer, and always put others before herself.
Her son Daninder said: “I’ve lost my mom, I’ve lost my world.”
Baljit’s family are being supported by our specialist officers, and our thoughts remain with them at this incredibly difficult time.
The driver of the vehicle, a 35-year-old man, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink driving and has now been charged.
