West Midlands Poice is re-appealing for information after a father left seriously injured following a hit-and-run in Northfield has sadly died.
Robert Field was crossing Hoggs Lane when he was struck by a dark blue car, near the junction of Cheverton Road, at 7pm on Saturday 22 February.
The 66-year-old suffered multiple fractures and a bleed on the brain and police were sadly informed he died in hospital this yesterday morning (09/04).
Officers are still trying to identify the driver of the car which was travelling in the direction of Frankley Beeches Road.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the serious collision investigation unit, said: “We were devastated to hear about the death of Mr Field and it has strengthened our resolve to trace the driver involved.
“The car lost a wing mirror in the collision so they will have known what happened, yet still decided to drive on.
“Now is the time for the driver to do the right thing, come forward and tell us exactly what happened.”
The family have asked for their privacy to be respected at this sad time.
