Nicky Campbell's Daughter Injured in Peckham E‑Bike Hit‑and‑Run

Police seeking CCTV to identify the fleeing rider highlight public safety concerns over souped‑up e‑bikes.

Overview

  • The crash occurred on Saturday night when 26‑year‑old Lilla Campbell was struck by an e‑bike in Peckham and the rider fled the scene as an ambulance arrived.
  • Paramedics took Lilla and companions to King’s College Hospital where she received trauma treatment and has since returned home and is recovering.
  • A Scotland Yard official said those involved did not suffer life‑threatening or life‑changing injuries while the Met continues a formal investigation.
  • While waiting in A&E a drunken man entered the trauma area and exposed himself to Lilla and her companions; police arrested him and he was reported to be in custody.
  • The family thanked Metropolitan Police and hospital staff and urged release of CCTV that reporters and the family hope will help identify the unidentified rider, feeding wider debate over illegal or modified high‑speed e‑bikes.
