“Losing one parent is tragic enough but to lose both at the same time, is just heartbreaking and unimaginable.”

Tributes have been paid to the couple.

Shareen Munir said: “Heartbreaking thinking of the family and young children Allah give you all sabr.”

A 47-year-old man who was arrested near to the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

West Midlands Police said: “The circumstances around what happened remain unclear and we are urging anyone who has not spoken to us already – but has information – to get in touch.

“We’re reviewing CCTV in the area but we’re particularly keen to secure footage.”

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, the collision investigation unit, said: “A man and woman have tragically died and our first thoughts are with their family members and friends at this traumatic time.

“It’s still unclear exactly what happened and we’re in the process of trying to trace, and speak to, anyone who was in the area at the time. We’re particularly keen to hear from anybody who has dash cam footage.

“We’ll be doing all we can to support those who have lost loved ones tonight and I’d urge people to think of them and not widely speculate. Please come to us with what information you have so we can help them by getting answers.”
