Police have identified the driver of an early morning crash that killed a Milton High School senior and injured two others as 18-year-old Andrew London.

Adam Stephens, 18, died in the single-vehicle wreck that occurred at 2:37 a.m. Tuesday near the intersection of New Providence and Dorris Roads, about a mile away from Milton High, said Milton Police Department spokesman Capt. Shawn McCarty.

London and his 16-year-old brother, whose first name has not been released, were also injured in the wreck.

Fulton County Public Schools spokeswoman Susan Hale said Stephens should have graduated next week from Milton High; Andrew London is a 2008 graduate. The 16-year-old man is a former Milton High student, but transferred to another school last fall, she said.

Police say the teens were riding in a 1972 Chevy pick-up truck when the elder London lost control. The vehicle flipped at least two times, ejecting him and his brother. Both teens were taken to North Fulton Regional Hospital, McCarty said. Andrew London is in stable condition and his younger brother is in critical condition, according to police.

No others were involved in the wreck. Police believe alcohol and speed played a role in the crash.
