£20,000 reward offered to find those responsible for fatal Birmingham collision

We're offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for a fatal road traffic collision involving a Vauxhall Meriva, an Audi A4, and a parked vehicle on Friday, August 1, 2025, on Stratford Road, Birmingham, near the junction with Ladypool Road.

A 22-year-old man who was a passenger in the Vauxhall Meriva was taken to hospital but later died. Police still need to identify the two other occupants of the Vauxhall Meriva, including the driver. All the occupants of the Audi have been identified. Three other people were also hurt.

As a charity, independent of the police, we're urging anyone who has information about those involved, no matter how small it may seem, to come forward. All information can be given completely anonymously and could be vital in securing justice and answers for their family.  

Do you have information which could help? You can tell us what you know and remain 100% anononymous - no police, no courts, no witness statements. Call free any time of day or night on 0800 555 111 or fill in our quick and easy online form, here on our website:
