A two-year-old boy has been killed in a hit-and-run crash involving a stolen Porsche in Smethwick.
The collision happened on Dartmouth Road in Smethwick shortly before 11pm on Saturday, West Midlands Police said.
Four adults and a child were rushed to hospital where the two-year-old boy died.
A woman, aged 29, and a 30-year-old man remain in a serious condition while another man and woman, both aged 30, are described as stable.
The driver of a grey Porsche Cayenne fled the scene. Police said it was travelling from the island on Kenrick Way when it hit a Toyota.
The force said checks on the Porsche indicate it was stolen earlier this month.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of the little boy at this extremely difficult time.
“I would urge the driver of the Porsche to do the right thing and come and talk to us. They made the wrong decision to run away and I’m asking them now to make the right one.”
The force’s inquiries continue.
The road at the scene was closed but has now reopened.
