The British Transport Police has issued an update after a crash in Hoghton.
An eight-year-old girl remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition after the crash, which involved a car and a train.
The incident, which occurred in Station Road on June 25, claimed the life of 33-year-old Kerry Coombes, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Asked for an update on the case nearly three weeks since the incident, a British Transport Police spokesperson said: "The girl is still in hospital – remains in a critical but stable condition.
"The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are following all lines of enquiry, but there are no significant updates at this time."
Floral were left at the scene of the crash, and Kerry Coombes’ family described her as a "devoted mum" with the "biggest heart."
