Prank gone wrong leaves teacher dead as teen driver faces homicide charge
In Hall County, Georgia, teens rolled trees with toilet paper at North Hall High School. When math teacher Jason Hughes stepped outside, he tripped into the street and was struck by a truck driven by 18-year-old Jayden Wallace, who now faces first-degree vehicular homicide charges, with four other teens charged with misdemeanors. Hughes’s family mourns, and Wallace’s family issued a remorseful statement. The district attorney says he was not consulted before charges and will review the evidence; Hughes’s family has indicated support for dropping charges in this tragedy. A GoFundMe has raised substantial funds for Hughes’s family.
