Driver, 19, is arrested after a boy, 16, is killed when a car smashes into railings in Birmingham

A 19-year-old driver faces suspicion of causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving, as well as failing to provide a breath specimen, following a crash on Shaftmoor Lane in Acocks Green at around 8.30pm on Saturday, in which a white Seat Ibiza left the road and struck railings. A 16-year-old passenger died at the scene despite paramedics' attempts to save him. The driver remains in custody.

A second teenage passenger was hospitalised with a serious arm injury.

West Midlands Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit is appealing for dashcam footage of the crash.
