The family of 13-year-old Noah Campbell have paid a heart-wrenching tribute after he was killed in a brutal hit-and-run in Flitwick, Bedfordshire.
Terrifying Crash in Broad Daylight
Emergency services rushed to the scene on Friday after reports that a car had slammed into three teenage boys. Two were on bikes, one on a scooter when the vehicle struck them. Despite desperate efforts by medics, Noah was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two boys suffered serious injuries and were hospitalised.
Family Pays Emotional Tribute
“Above all else, Noah cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world,” said his grieving family. “A talented and versatile sportsman, Noah loved football and played for many local teams. He excelled in rugby, cricket, and athletics too.” “He was adventurous, often challenging himself at the gym and the bike park. Some of his happiest moments were watching Liverpool FC and Luton Town FC with his dad.” “We are utterly devastated; Noah’s death has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever.”
Three Charged Over Deadly Smash
Jamie Fountain, 24, from Flitwick, faces multiple charges, including causing death by careless driving while over the legal alcohol and drug limits. He is also charged with causing serious injury to two youths, failing to stop, failing to report the accident, and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Ellie Ireland, 23, from Ampthill, is also charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Both are remanded in custody and set to appear at Luton Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Community in Shock
Detective Sergeant Shona Searle said: “This incident has sent shockwaves through the small community of Flitwick. We continue to support the victims’ families and ask the public to respect their privacy and avoid speculation.” One injured boy remains in serious condition in the hospital. The other has been discharged after treatment.
