Tributes to ‘fun, bright’ boy, 13, killed in crash
A 13-year-old boy’s family has honored him as a “fun, bright, handsome, athletic” individual who was “incredibly well-liked”. Noah Campbell died in a crash involving a car, bicycle, and scooter on Greenfield Road in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, at 23:50 BST on Friday. Two other teenagers sustained serious injuries and were hospitalized.
Family Statement
“Above all else, he cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world.”
“While football was his favorite sport—playing for many local teams—he was a gifted all-rounder who excelled in rugby, cricket, and athletics.”
“Outside of organized sports, Noah stayed active and adventurous; he loved challenging himself at the gym and spending time at the bike park.”
“Noah’s death has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever.”
The tribute was shared on Sunday, as authorities confirmed a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman had been charged in connection with the collision. Jamie Fountain, from Fir Tree Close, Flitwick, faces charges of causing death by careless driving and causing death by careless driving while over the legal limit for alcohol and drugs. He was also charged with two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving. Additionally, he is accused of failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report it, and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Ellie Ireland, of Wingate Drive, Ampthill, was charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Both individuals have been remanded in custody to appear at Luton Magistrates’ Court on Monday. One of the injured boys remains in hospital in serious condition, while the other has been discharged after treatment for serious injuries, police confirmed.
