Laura Hughes, the wife of Georgia teacher Jason Hughes, has made a remarkable plea after the tragic accident that claimed her husband’s life during what authorities described as a prank gone wrong.
The 40-year-old educator from Gainesville, Georgia, was fatally injured around 11:40 pm on Friday (March 6), after stepping outside his home while a group of teenagers toilet-papered his yard as part of a long-running school tradition.
Five 18-year-olds were arrested following the incident, including Jayden Ryan Wallace, who was charged with first-degree vehicular homicide and reckless driving after police said his pickup truck struck Hughes as the teens attempted to flee.
