A murder inquiry is under way after a man was found with fatal injuries in a car in Birmingham.

Ambulance workers called police after finding the injured man in Wright Road, Saltley, just after 12:45 GMT, West Midlands Police said.

The man's family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Police have cordoned off the area and have spoken to a number of people in the vicinity.
