The third victim was critically hurt Jan. 4 before succumbing to his injuries Tuesday, police said, according to multiple reports.

BOSTON, MA — A third teenager died Tuesday after a speeding Hyundai Accent with four occupants rolled over in Dorchester earlier this month, according to multiple reports which cite Massachusetts State Police.

The crash occurred on Morrissey Boulevard around 3 a.m. Jan. 4, police said.

None of the teenagers will be publicly named by police due to a police department policy that bans sharing the identities of juvenile victims. But according to The Boston Globe, the boy who died Tuesday was 17 years old and from Roslindale, and the family of the youngest victim previously identified him as Immanuel Brooks, 14, also from Boston.
