A 29-year-old father who was critically injured in a hit and run in Birmingham has died in hospital. Thomas Brown, described by his family as the 'kindest soul', was hit by a car on Heath Way in Hodge Hill on the evening of 26 April.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital but police confirmed he passed away this week. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and remains on the run.
Police Investigation
Officers have recovered a vehicle suspected of being involved in the incident and forensic investigations are underway. Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen a black Estate type car that failed to stop at the scene around 7.45pm and was last seen driving towards Coleshill Road.
Detective Sergeant Adam Alcock from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: 'We have specialist officers supporting the man's family during this very difficult time. We're appealing for people who may have information to please get in touch. Collisions on the road have devastating consequences and my priority is to get answers for his family.'
He added: 'I know from CCTV that there were other cars and witnesses at the location at the time of the collision and I would appeal for those people to make contact with us.'
