The family of 13-year-old Noah Campbell have expressed deep grief following his death in a road accident in Flitwick.

Noah died on Friday night after a car collided with him and two other teenage boys. Police said two of the boys were riding a bicycle, while another was on a scooter at the time of the incident.

In a statement released through Bedfordshire Police, the family described Noah as a vibrant and much-loved teenager whose loss has left an irreplaceable void.

They said he was “fun, bright, handsome, athletic and incredibly well-liked,” adding that he deeply valued time spent with his friends and family.

Noah was also described as a talented sportsman who excelled in football, rugby, cricket and athletics. He enjoyed staying active, spending time at the gym, and visiting bike parks. Some of his happiest moments, according to his family, were attending matches of Liverpool FC and Luton Town FC with his father.

Meanwhile, police confirmed that one of the other boys involved in the crash remains in hospital in a serious condition, while the second injured boy has been treated and discharged.

Authorities have charged two individuals in connection with the incident. A 24-year-old man, Jamie Fountain, faces multiple charges, including causing death by careless driving, driving over the legal alcohol and drug limits, causing serious injury, failing to stop at the scene, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

A 23-year-old woman, Ellie Ireland, has also been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Both suspects have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before a court in Luton.

Detective Sergeant Shona Searle said the incident has deeply affected the local community, noting that a continued police presence remains in the area to reassure residents.

She urged the public to avoid speculation and respect the privacy of the families involved as investigations continue.
