Another big crash overnight on Soho road in Handsworth with one dead. Amazed it’s not more when you see the cctv of the accident.

That road is always busy, stupid place to be driving fast.

Was going at a fair pace from the CCTV. Insane given how busy this road always is

Surprised that there is only one dead in that.
Again it's an innocent person that has died according to the reports.

Yeah guy in the passenger seat of a parked car having a drink.

Driver apparently telling folk he had a seizure even though folk have come forward to say he was driving dangerously for a while overtaking etc. Does seem strange how he seems to speed up knowing it’s a very busy 30mph road.

Call me judgemental but looking at the aftermath footage first, I could just tell it was the white Audi that caused the crash. Then saw the CCTV bit afterwards, hey presto, white Audi causes the crash.

I commute around Birmingham virtually everyday, although I tend to stick to the M6/M5/M42, but frequently see blatently poor driving, lots of "clueless" poor driving but also lots of deliberately dickish driving, almost always in something either from the VAG stable or with a BMW badge. Around Birmingham, these brands are just pure bellend magnets, driven by pondlife with zero regard for anyone else.

I've a couple of mates who are ex-coppers who served around Birmingham, their sentiments tend to match my own observations.
