(KMZA)--A second person has died from injuries received in an early Sunday morning rollover crash near Havensville in northeastern Pottawatomie County.

Sheriff Shane Yager said 18-year-old Keaton Blaske, of Havensville, died Tuesday at a Topeka hospital

19-year-old Quinton Norris, of Onaga, died Sunday following the crash.

Both were ejected after their vehicle left K-63 highway, north of K-16, and rolled multiple times.

According to an obituary from the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, in Onaga, a private funeral service will be held for Norris, with the family greeting friends Thursday evening from 5 to 7 at the funeral home.

The obituary says Norris was a 2019 graduate of Onaga High school and participated in multiple sports at the school.

Blaske was currently a senior at Onaga High School. Services for Blaske are pending.

The Onaga Country Mart, where Blaske had worked since May 2019, has set up a fund at the Farmers State Bank, in Onaga, to collect donations for the Blaske and Norris families.

According to a post on the store's Facebook page, donations can be taken to the bank or dropped off at the store.

Yager said the wreck remains under investigation. He said anyone with information is asked to call the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office at 785-457-3353, or leave at tip via the crime stoppers link at ptsheriff.com
