Jamie Fountain, 24, has admitted to killing a 13-year-old boy and seriously injuring two other teenagers after colliding with them while driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Fountain pleaded guilty at Northampton Crown Court on Friday to one count of causing death by careless driving whilst over the legal limit for alcohol and one count of causing death by careless driving while over the legal limit for drugs.

He also admitted two counts of causing serious injury by careless driving concerning the two other boys. The incident occurred around 11:40 p.m. on April 3, when Fountain was driving a blue BMW 318D along Greenfield Road near Flitwick, Bedfordshire. He struck three teenage boys, two of whom were on a bicycle and the third on a scooter.

Following the collision, the vehicle briefly slowed before continuing towards Flitwick. Emergency services were called to the scene, where 13-year-old Noah Campbell was pronounced dead. The other two boys were transported to a hospital with severe injuries.

Bedfordshire Police located Fountain's damaged vehicle abandoned on a nearby street shortly after the incident and subsequently arrested him. Fountain, who resides in Flitwick, is scheduled for sentencing on September 25.

Noah Campbell's family described him as a "fun, bright, handsome, athletic and incredibly well-liked boy" who cherished time with friends and family. The statement noted his devastation over his death, stating it left a permanent void. Noah was also recognized as a talented sportsman, excelling in football, rugby, cricket, and athletics. His family shared that some of his happiest memories were attending Liverpool FC and Luton Town FC matches with his father.

Detective Sergeant Shona Searle of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire serious collision investigation unit extended condolences to the families and friends of the victims. She emphasized Noah's young age and the lifelong physical and emotional impact the collision would have on the other two boys, who are being supported by a specialist officer. The police requested privacy for all three families.

Ellie Ireland, a passenger in the vehicle, denied a charge of perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing, according to the police.
