Police call for witnesses after pregnant woman is killed when car mounts pavement - Birmingham Mail

Police have issued a fresh appeal for information after a pregnant Birmingham mum was killed when a car hit a group of pedestrians, just yards from her home. Tahira Hussain, 27, had dropped her daughter off for her first day at nursery when she was struck by the vehicle in Heybarnes Road, Small Heath. The mum, who was seven months pregnant with her third child, was taken to Heartlands Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. Three other pedestrians, including two children, were also taken to hospital after being injured in the horror smash at 12. 50pm on Friday, which saw a driveway wall demolished. Acting sergeant Craig Kirwan, from West Midlands Police collision investigation unit, said: “We are appealing for witnesses who may have seen a white BMW in the area prior to this collision taking place to come forward. The victim was married to Zubair Hussain, 34, and was mother to girls Mominah, aged 7, and three-year-old Ruqayyah. Mr Hussain, a security manager, said on Saturday: “The whole family is just devastated. Mr Hussain said he had told his two daughters “that their mummy has gone to heaven”. “My wife was seven months pregnant – two lives have been taken from me and my family.
