Read: Arrest after two pedestrians seriously injured in Northfield collision
Two pedestrians were struck by a black Mercedes near the junction of Frankley Beeches Road, and Sir Herbert Austin Way, at just before 1pm on Monday.
A man and a woman, both aged in their 60s, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Sadly, their conditions have deteriorated and the injuries are now considered to be life-threatening to them both.
A 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving – he’s since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “A man and a woman have been left with very serious injuries and our thoughts are with them and family members at this time.
“We’ve already spoken to a number of potential witnesses but we know there were a lot of other people in the area at the time. We’d urge them to come forward so we can establish what happened.”
