POLICE investigating a serious hit-and-run in Northfield which left a 63-year-old man fighting for his life have released a picture of the car believed to be involved.

“I am also appealing to the wider community to get in touch if you have any information which will help trace the vehicle or driver.”

Any witnesses or anyone with any information should call police on 101, contact officers via Live Chat at west-midlands.police.uk between 8am to midnight or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
