A Milton teen has died from injuries sustained when he was thrown from the car he was riding in Sunday night, officials said.

Alexander Escabi, 17, died Tuesday, according to a memorial page posted by his former middle school.

Just before 11 p.m. Sunday, police and emergency services responded to reports of a single-car crash on Hopewell Road near Hopewell Plantation Drive, according to the Milton Police Department.

At the scene, authorities found the car with extensive damage. Escabi, a passenger, was thrown from the vehicle.

According to a message sent out by Hopewell Middle School, where Escabi’s mother works and where he previously attended, the teenager was a junior at Cambridge High School. Along with his mother, Escabi is survived by three younger siblings and one older.

Milton police are continuing to investigate the wreck.
