Nasty crash in Birmingham...

[AL]

Happened at 3am right outside my building for work, lass with serious injuries taken to hospital, chap driving died at the scene - car was in a really nasty spot - wedged between a tree and a wall in a large ditch/dip - guy's body wasn't removed from the car until 10:30ish!

Few pics from my office windows...







It was a Seat Leon apparently...



Full story hasn't been released - but there were bits of a bumper from another car (different colour) lying around and a good few marks on the road - must have been going at serious speed to lose it along there!

From what I can gather, was racing (or just driving VERY fast) - took the left hand bend, lifted off and lost the back end - went between two posts at speed and hit the wall / ditch, flipping the car end over end.

I'm pretty sure another car was involved (whether racing or just 'there' I don't know...) as there are bits of a different colour bumper knocking around and two sets of markings on the road from the crash investigators.

It was a friend of somebody on Passion Ford apparently...
