Police issue images of man they want to trace after pregnant woman loses baby in crash

Police investigating a crash last year that saw a pregnant woman lose her unborn baby have made a fresh appeal for information. Images of a man they want to speak to have been released.

The crash involved a Toyota and a BMW and happened in Cook Lane, Solihull. Officers looking into the crash said the woman and her family had agreed to the appeal to highlight the impact the incident had had on their lives, reports Birmingham Live.

The images released by police are believed by officers to have possibly been the driver of the BMW. Anyone who can help is asked to contact police.

In a statement, police said: "We are appealing for information following a collision in Solihull which resulted in a pregnant woman losing her baby. The collision happened between a BMW and a Toyota on Cooks Lane in Solihull last year.

"We’ve issued an image of a man we would like to speak to in connection with the collision who we believe may have been the driver of the BMW. The woman and her family have agreed to release this private and sensitive information to show the impact the collision has had on their lives."

Det Con Rachael Johnson, from Force CID, said: “This has had a lasting impact on the family who were left devastated that day at the loss of their unborn baby. We have carried out CCTV enquiries and spoken to witnesses and our investigation continues.

“I would appeal directly to the suspect to do the right thing and get in touch with us. Anyone who has any information on his whereabouts or about the incident please get in touch.” Anyone with any information should contact Live Chat on the force's website or by calling 101, quoting investigation number 20/471463/22.

Police arrested an 18-year-old man from the BMW on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle and he has been released on police bail while inquiries continue.
