A Georgia school district urged students not to take part in pranks. The next day, a teacher died in an apparent prank gone wrong, police said.
A Georgia high school teacher died after he was allegedly run over by a teen in an apparent prank gone awry, police said.
Jayden Ryan Wallace, 18, has been charged with first-degree vehicular homicide after he allegedly ran over Jason Hughes outside Hughes' home in Gainesville, Georgia, on Friday, March 6, the Hall County Sheriff's Office said in a news release shared with USA TODAY.
Hughes, 40, died after being transported to an area hospital, police said.
According to police, after 11 p.m. local time on March 6, Wallace and four other 18-year-olds — Elijah Tate Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque and Ariana Cruz — rolled trees outside Hughes' home with toilet paper.
As the group got into two vehicles to leave, Hughes came out of the home, but tripped and fell into the road. Wallace, who was driving a pickup truck, then allegedly ran over Hughes.
