It is believed that a silver Vauxhall Corsa was travelling from Poplar Lane and collided with a silver Ford Transit.

The vehicles subsequently crashed with a cyclist who was travelling on Bromsgrove Road.

Paramedics were on the scene within eight minutes while the Midlands Air Ambulance was also called out.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The middle aged cyclist had suffered significant injuries in the crash.
