Devastated parents have paid tribute to their "gorgeous" son who was killed in a car crash on Friday.
Christopher Tromp, 20, was killed after an Audi left the road and crashed into a tree, at around 10.45pm on April 14. Another man, also 20, has been left seriously injured in the crash which happened along Cobbs Brow Lane, in Skelmersdale.
The tribute, from Ged Tromp to his son, was published by Skelmersdale Cricket Club where Christopher played. He said: "Unfortunately, on Friday our gorgeous son, Christopher, was killed in a road traffic accident. Chris played at Skelmersdale CC for some 13 years and thoroughly enjoyed his time there.

"We would especially like to thank Phil, Joe, Jonas and Girvs for not only the wonderful coaching he received, but also the camaraderie and unique friendship at the club. He was part of a wonderful junior team including Abbie, Tucker, Callum and Dan, to name but a few.
"We wish the club every success in the forthcoming season. Ged & Julie."
The club said: "Our thoughts and condolences go to Ged, Julie, Anthony and Jonathon. Chris was loved by everyone at the club, he at 20 years old was not only a good up-and-coming cricketer, but also the nicest, kindest person you could meet, he is going to be in our hearts forever and sorely missed by everyone."
An investigation has now been launched and Lancashire Police are appealing for any information relating to the incident. Police confirmed that the other man injured, who is from Liverpool, remains in hospital.
Sgt Martin Wilcock, of the Lancashire Roads Policing Team, said: "First and foremost our thoughts are with the loved ones of the man who died. They are being supported by trained officers and we are working extremely hard to establish what occurred to get them answers about what happened.
"We would now like to speak to anybody with information about this incident. Perhaps you saw the Audi A1 in the moments before the collision, maybe you saw the incident itself and have not yet spoken to police or perhaps you have dashcam or other footage that could help us. Whatever you know, please tell us.
"Anybody with information is asked to call 101, quoting log 1416 of April 14th, or email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk."
