Police appeal

The Windmill Hill was closed for five hours while crash investigators examined the scene.
Sgt Tim Rogers, from the West Midlands Regional Collision Investigation Unit, said: "We are investigating what has led the death of this young man and to a handful of other people being injured.

"The Windmill Hill had recently been gritted and at this stage we do not believe that the weather has caused the collision."
