Police have launched an appeal for witnesses following a fatal crash in Redditch. 

West Mercia Police said they were called at around 10.10am on Sunday (November 3) to reports that a blue BMW 530 had left the road and ended up in a ditch. 

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended the scene. 

Ambulance crews arrived to find police and fire crews performing CPR on the driver, a man, who had been extracted from the car. 

Despite the best efforts of the ambulance staff, the driver, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "Crews arrived quickly on the scene to find police and fire colleagues performing CPR on the driver, a man, who had been extricated from the car.
