Teen dies days after same single-vehicle crash killed 18-year-old in Baltimore County

A 16-year-old, identified as Andrew Sober, died nearly a week after an 18-year-old passenger was killed in the same single-vehicle crash in Baltimore County.

Baltimore County police said on Thursday that Andrew Sober was the second teenager to die from a crash on Friday, May 1, on Poplar Hill Road near Merrymans Mill Road near Cockeysville, Maryland. 

Police said four people were in a vehicle around 9:30 p.m. when it went off the roadway and collided with a tree.

Ryan Duvall, 18, who attended Harford Community College and was involved in martial arts, died at the scene. Two minors suffered life-threatening injuries, and another is expected to survive.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

NBU, a soccer team in Baltimore County, said Sober was a sophomore at Dulaney High School.

"Our NBU family is heartbroken over the loss of Andrew," the NBU soccer team stated on social media. "He was a valued teammate, friend, and member of our community, and the impact he had on those around him will never be forgotten. In moments like these, soccer feels so much bigger than the game itself. We grieve together, we support one another, and we hold Andrew's family close in our thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time. We are incredibly grateful to have had Andrew as part of our NBU family, and we will carry his memory with us always."

An avid guitarist and soccer player

Sober's family said in a social media post shared by the NBU soccer program that he "succumbed to critical injuries sustained in a car accident last Friday night."

He is described by his family as an avid guitar player and a soccer player. He was a member of the NBU and Dulaney High soccer programs. He worked at the Regal Hunt Valley cinema.

Sober is going to be an organ donor, his family stated.

"We take great comfort that Andrew's final act of kindness was to donate his vital organs to save multiple lives," his family stated. 

Losing a "great role model"

Duvall was heavily involved in martial arts at Quest Martial Arts in Phoenix, Maryland. He was a first dan black belt who spent about two or three days per week at the martial arts facility.

But he was remembered by the community for more than martial arts skills. He was known as a role model, with a positive personality, and got along with anybody.

"He was well-liked by everyone; he got along with people," said Jim Bannister, the co-owner of Quest Martial Arts. "He was the sort of person we could partner up with anyone; we'd oftentimes put him with new students because he was so friendly and inviting."

Bannister told CBS News Baltimore that Duvall's legacy at Quest Martial Arts will not be forgotten.

"He was an important part of the school, and I'd like to see other people coming in that are just like him, too, for that spirit of how he approached training to continue with our other students as well," Bannister said. "He was a great role model."

Other injuries in the crash

According to an online fundraiser set up for 16-year-old Liam O'Donoghue, another boy involved in the crash, the four boys went out to hit golf ball and get dinner. The crash happened on the way home.

The page gives an update on O'Donoghue's condition, writing in part, "He lost his left arm at the shoulder, and despite every effort by his medical team, it could not be saved. He also suffered two fractured femurs and has already undergone extensive surgery involving rods, pins, and plates. Additional surgeries will be needed in the coming weeks. "

Another online fundraiser was set up for the fourth victim, 15 year old Orion Kicklighter, reading in part, "While we have every hope he will make a full recovery from his injuries, we expect there to be a long road ahead in the hospital and beyond."
