The family of Joshua Parkes have released a picture of their loved one after his death in the collision in Kingswinford last week which has now claimed four lives.

Joshua was driving the Skoda Fabia which hit a tree in Bromley Lane last Tuesday evening.

The family of the 21-year-old spoke of their loss ahead of the sad news that Joshua’s friend, Nathan Cartwight, lost his fight for life on Saturday. They said:

“The whole family are devastated at the loss of lives and pray that those in hospital make a full recovery. Our thoughts are with the other families involved at this dreadful time.

“We would appreciate our privacy being respected whilst we come to terms with what has happened.”

Specialist officers continue to support the families whose lives have been devastated by this tragic event. No words can express their grief and our thoughts remain with them at this painful time.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact officers on 101.
