OK folks well brother in law was involved in a hit and run last night. And we sadly lost him this morning. I would like everyone to share this message and hopefully find the scum that left him there. So if your partner, son, daughter, friend, friend of friend has a smashed front end of their car please contact your local police so justice can be served.
Please keep this share going thank you.

Police are requesting that anyone with the victim at the time to contact them, as it’s important they get as much information as possible.
If you have any information, or saw anything, please do contact Walsall Police by dialling 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
My condolences to the family and all the people affected by this terrible incident. An awful, awful thing to happen. I’d also that folk respect the privacy of the family where appropriate, including on social media. They must be going through hell, please remember that.
I have asked West Midlands Police for a statement, if one is forthcoming I shall post it up.
I’ll let you have any further info as and when.
