Police have launched an urgent witness appeal following a serious road traffic collision in Solihull that left a pensioner with significant injuries.
Details of the Lode Lane Incident
The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 4, at approximately 4:30pm. A woman in her 70s was struck by a car at the roundabout junction of Lode Lane, Streetsbrook Road, and the B4102 Blossomfield Road.
The victim sustained a serious leg injury and required trauma care at the scene before being transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Selly Oak, Birmingham. More than two weeks after the collision, she remains in hospital receiving treatment.
Appeal for Key Witnesses
Although the driver of the vehicle involved, a black Range Rover, remained at the scene to assist officers, investigators are now keen to trace two individuals captured on CCTV.
The first is a pedestrian, described as potentially a woman wearing a beige coat with fur trim, jeans, and boots, who was walking by the roadside.
The second is the driver of a silver BMW car. Police believe both were metres away from the collision and may hold crucial information that could aid their investigation.
How to Assist the Investigation
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police stated: "We want to hear from them, or anyone who knows who they are. Please get in touch, quoting log 3910 of 4 November."
Anyone with information is urged to contact West Midlands Police immediately to help piece together the exact circumstances of this serious incident.
