Police have arrested a second man as our investigation into a fatal crash involving a motorcycle and a car in Stechford on Tuesday (22 March) continues.

A man in his 20s suffered serious head injuries in the collision on Flaxley Road at around 10pm and sadly died later in hospital.

A 23-year-old man was detained on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving under the influence and failing to stop, after he attended a police station on Wednesday evening.

Following questioning he has been released under investigation as officers continue with enquiries to establish the exact circumstances of the collision.

A man in his 30s, arrested on Tuesday, on suspicion of causing serious injury has also been released pending further investigations.

Inspector Steve Radford of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our enquiries are ongoing as we work to find out exactly what happened.

“A forensic examination of the scene has been carried out and CCTV footage from around the area is being reviewed.

“We have also spoken with a number of witnesses but we’d ask anyone who was in the area at the time, who’s not yet spoken to us, to get in contact.

“We’d also ask drivers who have dashcam of the incident, or who were in the area around the time of the collision, to get in touch.”
