A Georgia teenager who was charged in a high school teacher's death after a prank gone wrong says he plans to live out the rest of his life in the teacher's honor.

Jayden Ryan Wallace was charged with first-degree vehicular homicide after he ran over North Hall High School teacher Jason Hughes outside Hughes' home Friday night. Hughes' family described the situation as an accident.

Wallace and four other people threw toilet paper over the trees outside Hughes' home when Hughes, 40, left the house and slipped in the road, the Hall County Sheriff's Office said.

“As Wallace began driving his pickup truck on North Gate Drive, Hughes tripped and fell into the road and was run over by the vehicle,” the sheriff’s office said.

The students, who were in two vehicles, stopped to help Hughes, a math teacher, but he died later at a hospital.
