A math teacher died after his students ran him over while carrying out a prank outside his house in Gainesville, Georgia.

Jason Hughes, 40, knew in advance that teens were going to hurl toilet roll over the trees in his front garden when he stepped outside on Friday night.

But the North Hall High School teacher slipped on the rain-drenched ground and fell into the street just as the teens were driving off.
