Det Sgt Paul Hughes, from West Midlands Police's serious collision investigation unit, said a large group of people were in the area at the time and would have witnessed what happened.
"I would urge those people to get in touch if they haven't already done so," he said.
He added his thoughts were with all the families affected and they were being supported by specialist liaison officers.
