A DAD desperately tried to shield his childhood sweetheart from a crash that killed her and left their baby son fighting for his life.
Charlie Bianco-Ashley cried out “my girlfriend’s dead” and “I need my baby” after Nicole Newman was struck as she pushed eight-month-old baby Luciano in his pram in Penge, South East London, on Sunday night.
The 25-year-old had watched in terror as a car ploughed into tragic Nicole and their son – as she screamed “where’s my baby”.
The mum was pronounced dead at the roadside by paramedics who had frantically battled to save her life.
Distraught Mr Bianco-Ashley needed to be comforted by cops at the scene after the 23-year-old was hit.
Carlton Fiddler, who runs a takeaway opposite, said: “Police were trying to calm him down. He was shouting. He was hysterical.”
Charlie’s mother Gabriella rushed to the scene in a minicab.
‘PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER’
She said: “I ran out into the road and Charlie pulled me back and said, ‘I don’t want you to be killed too.’
“They were perfect for each other and the baby is so beautiful. This car came from nowhere.”
Italian-born Gabriella, 60, of nearby Penge, added that Nicole and warehouse worker Charlie had been together for ten years.
Their baby was raced to hospital and is still fighting for life after the smash, which left a broken pram scattered across the road.
Charlie had bravely tried to get between the car and the pram as it hurtled towards them, Gabriella saod.
She told the Daily Mail: “Charlie told me the driver came from nowhere.
“He tried to get between the driver to protect his son and Nicole.”
Gabriella told how the tot was resuscitated twice needed spinal surgery.
Describing the horror, she said: “I called them yesterday as I had not seen them, and I usually see them every day. Charlie said ‘we are watching a film’.
“Then a few hours later this happens.”
The gran revealed how Nicole and Charlie had been teenage sweethearts but had recently got their own flat together after a year of sleeping “on the floor”.
I saw one lady crying, I think it might have been the lady’s mum – she was screaming loudly. The police officers were comforting her.
Babu Hari, newsagent manager
A bartender at the Pawleyne Arms, who didn’t want to be named, told The Sun Online: “I’ve known her for years.
“Her boyfriend is called Charlie and they’ve been dating for about three to four years. It was their child.
“She was a close friend when we were younger. It’s really sad.
“My friend told me over the phone what had happened.
“She liked going out, she was a beautiful girl. After school I think she studied beauty.
“She lived in Anerley and I think her parents did as well. It’s just so horrible.”
Last night friends and family staged a vigil at the scene and left flowers, candles, photos and heart-shaped balloons.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the horror at 8pm on Sunday.
The Mondeo driver, 51, stopped at the scene and was discharged from hospital after treatment for minor injuries.
He was not arrested but police said he was helping with inquiries.
‘FINAL SCREAMS’
Eyewitnesses told of Nicole’s harrowing final words as she frantically searched for her boy after the horror smash.
A neighbour who lives close to the horrifying crash site told the MailOnline: “Her last words were screams of ‘where’s my baby? Where’s my baby?’
“When I looked outside a passer-by was holding the baby to stop the car or the driver moving from the point of impact.
“It took about 15 minutes for the ambulance to show up. When they arrived they gave her a drip but kept her there. Hearing her final screams was so upsetting.”
Officers and paramedics fought to save the mum, in her 20s, but she was declared dead at the scene – where a broken pram and handbag were left.
Her last words were screams of, ‘Where’s my baby? Where’s my baby?’
Witness to crash
Babu Hari, manager of the newsagent on the road opposite where the crash happened, told The Sun Online: “I heard screaming and I could hear a bang, it sounded like two cars crashing.
“It happened at 8.12pm. You could see the pram on the ground, it was upright.
“Lots of people ran out to help. There was a woman who was checking the pulse of the baby.
“I saw one lady crying, I think it might have been the lady’s mum – she was screaming loudly. The police officers were comforting her.”
‘NEVER HEARD A BANG LIKE IT’
Witness Joe Ball, 30, said: “I have never seen anything like it in my life. I knew she was dead when I called the ambulance.
“I just couldn’t look. All I can think about is hearing the car by her.”
“I have never heard a bang like it. It all happened so quickly. In that split second I saw her up in the air.”
A witness added the mum’s parents arrived at the scene shortly after the crash, adding they are a “close knit” family.
Another neighbour said: “The woman is a friend of a friend’s girlfriend.
“The baby is their son. He is eight months old. He is in an on-off condition at the moment and they are not sure if he will live.”
MEDICS BATTLED TO SAVE HER
Harrowing video from the scene showed at least 12 emergency vehicles flooding the street.
The officers covered the mother’s body in a blue sheet and erect a tent around the scene.
A witness posted on Facebook: “Boy what a sad start for 2019. (I was) just passing, going about my business and I came across such a horrific accident.
“A car hit a babymother while she was trying to cross the road.
“The fire brigade is here, the ambulance are here, the police are here.”
COPS APPEAL
A Metropolitan Police statement said: “Officers and London Ambulance attended and found a car had been in collision with a 23-year-old female pedestrian, who was pushing a pram carrying her eight-month-old baby son.
