Cyclist dies after collision with car on Birmingham's Belgrave Middleway

A cyclist has died after a crash with a car which shut off Birmingham's Belgrave Middleway for much of Tuesday.

Emergency services had been called to the area at 2.08pm, on Tuesday 16 May and found the man in a critical condition.

Despite their efforts he was confirmed dead at the scene.

Two ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic and the Midland Air Ambulance Critical Care Car attended the scene.

The car driver didn't need treatment.

The major city centre road near to the Central Mosque was closed in both directions between Horton Square and Haden Circus yesterday afternoon while investigations took place.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "Upon arrival at the scene we found a man who was the cyclist.

"He was assessed and was in a critical condition. Ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support to him.

"Unfortunately, despite their best efforts it became clear that nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene. The driver of the car did not require treatment."

West Midlands Police is urging witnesses and drivers who may have dashcam footage to contact them.
