West Midlands Police (WMP) has released some disturbing footage (scroll down) of the moment when a woman and her dog are hit by a car on Doe Bank Lane, Great Barr.
The CCTV footage has been released as part of an urgent appeal for information.
The woman survived her injuries, but her beloved pet dog ‘Millie’ tragically died at the side of the road.
The collision happened just before 5 pm on Wednesday, 22nd July.
The crystal-clear CCTV footage shows several people running away from the scene.
West Midlands Police are appealing for the public’s help to trace them, and are asking anyone with information to get in touch with them ASAP.
Officers are also trying to find the black Astra that can be seen in the footage to stop further down the road.
Investigators believe that the two cars were travelling together and that the people in the vehicles are probably friends with each other.
Anyone with information is urged to get in touch with WMP via Live Chat at www.west-midlands.police.uk 8 am-midnight or call 101 anytime quoting log 3677 of 22nd July.
To remain 100% anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

They have shown no remorse. They were even seen laughing and jeering.
He did die at their hands. Especially the driver. Therefore should complete the whole of 13yr 13yr and16yr. With No early release. They should also be made to watch the videos of pursuit and pictures of Andrew so they understsnd what an horrific thing they did. Put in solitary until they understand and can see the error of their ways.. Not have the luxery of tv video radio etc. Be show what a loving family Andrew had and how much hurt and distress they have caused the family friends and wider community.
Asked how they would feel if that was their father brother or friend. I know if it was my son I would want to murder the person responsible with my own bare hands…. But
1)They cannot do longer nor be in prison for life as it was not premeditated. Did they genuinely know Andrew was caught up that badly in the rope.??
2)They need to be taught another way to live when they come out. They were brought up in a family where Dads uncles granddads great grandads all robbed and fought for what they wanted instead of working. The kids knew no different.
3) Any life taken is a tragedy whether an essential worker or not. They should have respect for ALL other human beings. You cannot give them extra years in prison because of the job someone was in. All deaths
result in a wider family and community being affected.
They MURDERED him so should serve LIFEin prison
