The crash happened in Extwistle Road on Saturday
A teenager has died after a farm buggy he was driving crashed in a field.
The 16-year-old boy, from Worsthorne, near Burnley, was travelling with a 17-year-old boy when the buggy left the carriageway in Extwistle Road after 00:00 GMT on Saturday, Lancashire Police said.
His passenger was not seriously injured.
The force has appealed for information and dashcam footage, saying that no other vehicles were involved.
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.
"A family is grieving and I would ask the public - particularly those on social media - not to engage in any unhelpful, unnecessary and hurtful speculation."
