Police officer killed by car while walking to work in Smethwick

A police officer died in the hospital after getting hit by a car while walking to work. It’s a very sad thing that happened.

Sgt Paul Frear got really hurt when he was hit by a vehicle in Smethwick, West Midlands, on Thursday morning.

Emergency services quickly went to Tollhouse Way, which is close to Smethwick Rolfe Street railway station, after something happened.

The 45-year-old man who was a father to two children passed away in the hospital on Friday while being comforted by his family, according to the police.

Sgt Frear was praised for being a hero because he saved the lives of two people who were stabbed outside a nightclub in Wolverhampton. He received the chief constable’s award in 2017 for his actions.

The West Midlands Police said that both victims of the attack are alive because he quickly provided emergency first aid.

Sgt Frear has been honored by his colleagues, who say he spent his whole career focusing on the people and organizations in Wolverhampton.
He worked for 21 years as a police officer. He joined West Midlands Police in August 2002 and spent the last five years working in the Low Hill, Bushbury, and Fallings Park neighborhoods.

The head of the police, Craig Guildford, said that they are giving as much help as possible to the wife, children, and other family members during this terrible time.

We understand that this will greatly impact those who knew him, worked with him, and the entire police community.

As a way to show respect, we will be flying the Force flags halfway down the flagpole.
The Police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands, Simon Foster, said that Sergeant Paul Frear dedicated his career to helping the people of the West Midlands.

He was a committed and well-liked member of the police force for 21 years.

I and everyone in my office are thinking about his family, especially his wife and children.

I am aware that the West Midlands Police will give them all the help they require.
