Tributes to ‘fun, bright’ boy, 13, killed in crash
A 13-year-old boy, Noah Campbell, died in a collision involving a car, bicycle, and scooter on Greenfield Road in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, at 11:50 PM BST on Friday. The incident left two other teenagers with serious injuries, prompting a family tribute to the “fun, bright, handsome, athletic” child, who was “incredibly well-liked”.
Family Statement Highlights Noah’s Enthusiasm for Life
“Above all else, he cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world,” the family said. “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.”
Noah’s death has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever,” the family added, expressing their devastation.
