The family of a teenager who died after his farm buggy crashed in a field have paid tribute to their “beautiful, kind and lovely boy.”
Lancashire Police said its officers were called to Extwistle Road in Worsthorne at 12.41am on Saturday following reports a Polaris Ranger Farmbike had left the carriageway and crashed in a field.
They found Hector Eccles, 16, who did not survive his injuries.
His passenger – a 17-year-old man from Burnley – was not seriously injured.
Sgt Martin Wilcock, from Lancashire Police, said: “This is no longer a criminal investigation and we are now carrying out inquiries on behalf of the coroner.”
