Appeal over hit-and-run death

David Evans was killed as students looked on

Police appealed for information outside a West Midlands school where an assistant was killed on a zebra crossing by a hit-and-run driver.

David Evans, 55, was run over in front of students outside the Shireland Language College, on Waterloo Road, Smethwick, on 19 January.

Mr Evans, from Edgbaston in Birmingham, was an administrative assistant at the college, where his wife Jane is deputy head.

West Midlands Police were at the scene of the crash between 1100 and 1400 GMT on Tuesday, a week to the day since Mr Evans was killed.

Officers spoke to members of the public and handed out questionnaires in an effort to move their inquiry forward.

Two men, aged 39 and 26, arrested in connection with the incident have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
