The incident occured on Alcester Road South, Kings Heath at around 2.30pm. Paramedics gave advanced life support to the man who was in a critical condition, but nothing could be done to save him.
According to Birmingham Live, he was pronounced dead at the scene, which was closed for a number of hours.
The closure resulted in disruption for local traffic, as well as delays for bus services. The news was tweeted by NX West Midlands (@nxwestmidlands), who also asked the public to “please allow extra time for your journey” as delays were expected to continue throughout the evening.

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer, a MERIT trauma doctor and West Midlands Care Team attended the incident.
The man has not yet been named.
