Family members of a teenager boy who tragically died in a tragic car crash late Friday in Flitwick have paid heartfelt tribute as they ask for private time to grieve at this situation. A man and a woman have been charged over the incident, Bedfordshire Police said.

Noah Campbell, 13, died after a car was involved in a crash with him and two other teenage boys on Friday night in Flitwick. Two of the boys were riding a bike, and another was on a scooter. His family said his death “has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever”. The family of Noah Campbell, 13, said: “Above all else, Noah cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world.

“He was a talented and versatile sportsman. While football was his favourite sport- playing for many local teams- he was a gifted all-rounder who excelled in rugby, cricket and athletics. Outside of organised sports, Noah stayed active and adventurous; he loved challenging himself at the gym and spending time at the bike park.

“Some of his happiest memories were made enjoying attending Liverpool FC and Luton Town FC matches alongside his dad.

“We would like to thank everyone for kind words and support during incredibly difficult time. We are utterly devastated; Noah’s death has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever.”

Jamie Fountain, 24, of Fir Tree Close, Flitwick, was charged with causing death by careless driving, and an additional charge of causing death by careless driving while over the legal limit for alcohol and drugs, police said on Sunday.

He was also charged with two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving in relation to two other boys who were injured in the incident, which took place on Greenfield Road on Friday night.

Fountain has been further charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Ellie Ireland, 23, of Wingate Drive, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

They have both been remanded in custody to appear before Luton Magistrates’ Court on Monday, officers said.

Detective Sergeant Shona Searle, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire serious collision investigation unit, said: “This incident has sent shockwaves through the small community of Flitwick and the surrounding area, and we maintain a community policing presence around the scene for reassurance.

“While we understand the strong feeling associated with the loss of a young life, and the serious injury of others, we would ask that people do not speculate on the circumstances of the situation.

“The families of the victims, who we are supporting through family liaison officers, have requested that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.”
