When a fatal road collision occurs, like the one in Small Heath, the police launch a thorough investigation. Their job is to gather evidence, reconstruct the incident, and determine if any criminal offences were committed. This often involves forensic examination, witness interviews, and reviewing CCTV footage to understand exactly what happened.
