Do you have information about a fatal collision in Birmingham?

We're offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information, given to us anonymously, about a fatal collision in Birmingham last month.

The collision occurred on Audley Road in Birmingham on 9 February, resulting in the death of 71-year-old Wynford "Willie" Griffiths. Crimestoppers is urging anyone with information about the incident or the driver involved to come forward to support the ongoing investigation.

The driver of the car failed to stop at the scene. While the vehicle has since been recovered, the driver remains unidentified and at large.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, who is leading the investigation, expresses the critical need for community assistance: 

"We have recovered the car we believe was involved in the collision, but we know the driver is still out there. We're appealing again for the driver of the car to do the right thing and come forward.

"Someone in the community will know who was driving the car that night, so we are urging anyone who knows who might have been responsible to tell us what they know. Mr. Griffiths' family deserves to know who was responsible for his death, so we need as much information as possible to help our enquiries."

As an independent charity, we at Crimestoppers are supporting this investigation by offering a reward for information we exclusively receive that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the fatal collision. 

“Wynford “Willie” Griffiths’ life ended all too suddenly and our charity would like to get justice for his family and friends. Crimestoppers understands that it can be hard for some people to speak directly to the police, which is why our charity exists.

“You can make a difference by passing on what you know whilst being protected by our guarantee of anonymity. That means no police, no courts, no witness statements.
 
“We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and we cannot trace your call or track your IP address. No one will ever know you contacted us. You may think your information is insignificant - however, it could make all the difference.”

Alan Edwards, West Midlands Regional Manager at Crimestoppers.
