A TEENAGE girl was killed after being hit by a car on a Birmingham road.
Paramedics were called to the scene of the incident in Alcester Road South, Kings Heath, after horrified onlookers near a Texaco filling station raised the alarm shortly before 9pm on Saturday.
Two ambulances, a critical care practitioner and two doctors from the West Midlands Care Team Emergency Doctor Scheme were sent to the aid of the 14-year-old girl from Yardley Wood, who has not been named.

“On arrival, crews immediately started treating her and assisting her breathing.”
