A man aged 39 died when a car crashed into a Lidl supermarket in Wolverhampton on Friday evening.

James Singh Jagpal, aged 39, was killed when a car crashed into a Lidl supermarket on Finchfield Hill in Wolverhampton just before 6pm on Friday, 23 October. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, a woman in her 70s, was released from hospital and will be spoken to by West Midlands Police in due course. Two other women who were taken to hospital with serious injuries have since been discharged.

Mr Jagpal's family described him as a 'much-loved' son, brother, devoted partner of over 20 years and father to two daughters. They said he was 'known for his kindness, generosity and wonderful sense of humour' and appealed for members of the public not to share footage of the aftermath, asking for privacy and respect for his dignity.

A GoFundMe page set up to support the family has raised more than £2,600 of a £25,000 target in less than 24 hours. The funds will go towards funeral costs, essential household expenses and unforeseen costs. West Midlands Police are continuing to investigate and have appealed for information or dashcam footage, particularly from anyone who saw a blue Renault Zoe immediately before the collision.
