Police have closed their investigation into the e-bike rider who hit and badly injured Lilla Campbell in Peckham in June, then left the scene. The case is suspended pending further evidence, with the force saying it received no information that could identify the rider despite obtaining CCTV and seeking witnesses.
Lilla, 26, was taken to hospital after the collision while out with her sisters. Her father, broadcaster Nicky Campbell, had appealed for witnesses and footage; police say information can still be provided within the six-month statutory time limit, quoting reference 9571/19JUN.
