£20k appeal for information launched following hit-and-run death of 71-year-old man

The independent charity Crimestoppers has offered a reward of up to £20k for the information about a fatal collision in Birmingham last month. 

Wynford Griffiths was sadly killed as the result of a crash on Audley Road in Birmingham on February 9, with the driver of the other car failing to stop at the scene.

While the vehicle has now been recovered, the driver remains unidentified and at large.

Crimestoppers is now urging anyone with information about the incident, or the driver involved, to come forward to support the ongoing investigation. 

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, who is leading the investigation, said: "We have recovered what we believe was involved in the collision, however, we know that the driver is still out there.

"We're appealing again for the driver of the car to do the right thing and come forward."

The reward will be paid out to those who give information exclusively to Crimestoppers, which leads to a conviction.

Mr Hughes continued: "Someone in the community will know who was driving the car that night, so we are urging anyone who knows who might have been responsible to tell us what they know. 

"Mr Griffiths' family deserves to know who was responsible for his death, so we need as much information as possible to help our enquiries."

Anyone with information can get in touch with Crimestoppers directly via their 0800555111. 

Information can also be given via the group's online form anonymously on their website.
