Nicky Campbell’s daughter Lilla has been left badly injured after an e-bike hit and run in south London last night. Taking to social media on Saturday, the BBC radio presenter described a nightmare ordeal for the family after Lilla, 26, was rushed to hospital – only for a man to then expose himself to her as she waited injured in A&E. He said Lilla was struck by the e-bike in Peckham while with her sisters, only for the rider to ‘scarper’ after a crowd gathered
at the scene. She is now at home and recovering, although is ‘badly injured’, the journalist said. Unfortunately her ordeal was not over after the swift arrival of paramedics, who took Lilla and her sisters to King’s College Hospital – only for a ‘drunk’ to expose himself to the group. He has since been arrested, Mr Campbell said. Describing a ‘long and emotional night’, Mr Campbell said: ‘My daughter Lilla was hit by an e bike hit and run last night in Peckham – hopefully
there is CCTV.’ Adding that an ambulance arrived at the scene within two minutes of being called, he continued: ‘She is badly injured but now at home. It could have been so much worse. We are incredibly lucky. ‘Then when she and her sisters and a friend arrived at A&E a drunk entered the trauma room where they were and exposed himself to them. ‘The police were there and he has been arrested. The police were magnificent. I spoke to them when I arrived at
3.15am and he is now in custody. ‘We all want to say a massive thank you to our amazing police, the wonderful staff at King’s College Hospital – nurses and doctors. Calum and the team. From the bottom of our hearts. They were all b****y superb.’ This is a breaking news story and is being updated.

Hit and run plus that?? London is just wild now.
I’m sorry but how is a “drunk” even allowed in the trauma room like that. Don’t they have security or something? Also e-bike riders never stop, they just run.
Wait so he got arrested for exposing himself to her while she’s literally injured? That’s just disgusting. But also the article says “hopefully there is CCTV” like… why wasn’t it already found??
This whole thing sounds messed up, but I keep wondering if the e-bike was even legal or if it was one of those scooters. People act like CCTV is some magic thing but half the time it’s not clear. Still glad she’s home recovering… although “badly injured” doesn’t sound like a good ending.
