We are appealing for witnesses after a man died following a single-vehicle collision in Lichfield.
We were called to the B5014 Lichfield Road at Hanch, near to Handsacre, at 5.35am on Saturday (12 November) following reports of a collision.
A silver Vauxhall Corsa had collided with a tree on the roadside.
We attended as quickly as possible and closed the road whilst paramedics from West Midlands Ambulance Service worked at the scene.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, the driver, a man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
His family are being supported by specially trained officers at this time.
Officers from the Staffordshire and West Midlands Serious Collision Investigation Unit are asking anyone who saw the collision or those with CCTV or dashcam footage of the Corsa beforehand to get in touch.
Contact us on 101, Facebook or Twitter, quoting incident 149 of 12 November.
