A high school teacher in Georgia was accidentally run over and killed outside his home when a toilet paper prank carried out by his students went terribly wrong, officials said.
Jason Hughes, 40, came out of his home to surprise the students who were tossing toilet papers over trees as part of a practical joke.
But Hughes tripped and fell on the ground which was slick from rain, and as the students tried to run away from the scene in two separate cars, he was inadvertently run over by the driver of one of the cars, police said.
The student who was driving the car has been charged with vehicular homicide, but the teacher's family say they want the charges dropped.
In a statement to the New York Times, Laura Hughes, Jason Hughes' wife, who is also an instructor at the same high school, said that her husband was beloved by the students.
