Baltimore County police said the 16-year-old died nearly a week after the 1 May crash on Poplar Hill Road near Cockeysville, Maryland, becoming the second teenager killed.
Four people were in the vehicle when it left the road and hit a tree around 9:30pm; one teen died at the scene, two minors suffered life-threatening injuries and another is expected to survive.
Sober, a Dulaney High School sophomore and soccer player, will be an organ donor, his family said, while fundraisers say another injured teen lost an arm and a fourth faces a long recovery.
