One of the messages left at the scene describe Jordan as a “star in the sky”, while another reads “Ride in heaven Brother xxx”.

One person wrote: “My bro! I love you forever like a brother. You always looked out for me I will never forget you, see you on the other side.”

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Emergency services arrived to find a car which had been involved in a serious collision with a tree.

“Sadly, it quickly became apparent to ambulance staff that nothing could be done to save one occupant, a man, and he was confirmed dead on scene.

“A second occupant, a man, was in a critical condition.

“Ambulance staff and the doctor worked rapidly as a team to administer advanced trauma care to the man on scene before he was conveyed by ambulance on blue lights to University Hospital in Coventry for further trauma care.”

A third man, in his 20s, was also treated at the scene for less serious injuries before being taken to the same hospital for further checks.
