A woman has died after a car involved in a police pursuit crashed in Birmingham.

She sustained serious injuries and died in hospital.
Three occupants of a Volkswagen Golf suffered minor injuries in Saturday's crash on Crocketts Road.

A spokesperson for the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), said it was investigating after a referral from the force.
