A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "We were called about a crash at 1.15am on Sunday 7 August on Birmingham Street, Stourbridge between a car and a van.
"The investigation is ongoing."
Former councillor Nicolas Barlow tweeted: "Good grief, that's nasty.
"Unsurprising, sadly, given the speed people drive along, and off, the Ring Road; areas around Wollaston village is just as bad."
