Smethwick crash: Boy, 2, killed in stolen Porsche hit-and-run as police launch manhunt

West Midlands Police are hunting a hit-and-run driver after a two-year-old boy was killed in a horror car crash involving a stolen Porsche in Dartmouth Road, Smethwick

A toddler has tragically died after a man mowed him down with a stolen Porshe and then drove off.

Police and paramedics were called to Dartmouth Road, in Smethwick, West Midlands, following a crash between two cars on Saturday night.

Emergency services said they raced a two-year-old child and four adults to hospital. Despite their best efforts, the toddler sadly died.

A woman, aged 29, and a 30-year-old man remain in a serious condition while another man and woman, aged 30, are described as being stable.

Police believe the driver of a grey Porsche Cayenne, which can be worth around £80,000, struck the Toyota as is travelled from a roundabout on Kenrick Way. He then fled the scene and further checks on the car have revealed it was stolen earlier this month.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "We have spoken to witnesses and CCTV enquiries in and around the area are underway. The road was closed in both directions while specialist reconstruction staff examined the scene, but has now reopened."
