A man has admitted killing a woman in a hit-and-run crash in Dudley.
Salma Rafique, 27, was struck by a car on a pedestrian crossing on Thorns Road in Quarry Bank near Brierley Hill.
At Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday, Tyrone Moran, 19, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving over the collision, on 29 September 2023.
