Family and friends will gather Sunday to mourn the loss of a Coral Springs teen who died last weekend when the car he was riding in plunged into a canal.
Funeral services for Anthony Almonte, 16, will be held at 3 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center of the Arts, located at 2855 Coral Springs Drive in Coral Springs.
Coral Springs police say Almonte was in 16-year-old Sean Maxey's 2007 red Volkswagen when they got into a fender bender on University Drive in Coral Springs just after midnight Sunday morning. For some reason Maxey put the car in reverse and sped backward. The car crashed into a sign before slamming into a guardrail which caused it to flip into a canal. Maxey, Almonte and a third teen, 16-year-old Robert Nugent, all died as a result of the crash. A fourth teen who was in the car, 15-year-old Evan Sinisgalli, was able to escape and swim to safety.
Police say the teens were coming home from a homecoming party when the accident occurred.
Funeral services for Nugent were held Saturday at Calvary Church in Ft. Lauderdale. Services for Maxey were held Friday at St. Elizabeth Anne Seton Church in Coral Springs.
