A pedestrian has been killed after being struck by a car.
It is believed the 38-year-old man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was trying to cross the road when he was hit by a car that failed to stop.
The crash happened on Birmingham's Bristol Street at the junction of Belgrave Middleway around 1.40am this morning.
A 21-year-old man, who handed himself into a police station, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Sergeant Alan Hands, from West Midlands Police's Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We have spoken to a number of witnesses already but I am still appealing to anyone who witnessed the collision who hasn’t yet spoken to us to get in touch.
“A man has lost his life and our thoughts are with his family who are being supported by one of our specialist officers."
Bristol Street at the junction of Belgrave Middleway is likely to remain closed for most of the morning.
