The lawsuit alleges the following:

Lakeville South High School (LSHS) students planned to participate in a Nerf War game on Dec. 4, 2015.

During Nerf War games, student participants strategized to "kidnap" other players in school parking lots after school to take them offsite. During those instances, students often wrestled and became physical during attempts to kidnap or avoid being taken.

LSHS students from one team attempted to "kidnap" players from another team after school hours on Dec. 4. LSHS surveillance video captured the incident, which included players "chasing each other and wrestling with each other."

At that point, Hughes, in a pickup truck, drove into the LSHS parking lot and picked up members of the Nerf Wars team of which he was part.

While Hughes was driving away from the school, a passenger in the back seat reached into the front to try to grab a Nerf gun on the front passenger seat. Hughes leaned to push the Nerf gun off the seat and as he did so, he turned the steering wheel to the left, causing the pickup truck to cross the center line of 225th Street.

Hughes corrected the vehicle but was then bumped by a passenger in the backseat, which caused him to overcorrect and the vehicle rolled into a ditch on the street's north side.

Hughes' head struck the pickup's side window and he was thrown from his seat. His skull was fractured as were vertebrae in his back. Hughes sustained a traumatic brain injury and has permanent paralysis on the left side of his face.

Two of the passengers in the vehicle, identified as then-17-year-old Jake Flynn and then-18-year-old Johnny Price, died as a result of the crash.

The lawsuit alleges the school district has "a duty to use reasonable care to protect their students from reasonably foreseeable risks of harm" and that school officials "had actual knowledge that LSHS students were engaged in (Nerf War games) and as part of that activity, these students were engaged in assaultive conduct which at times included the use of vehicles."

The lawsuit also states, "by allowing Nerf wars activity to occur on school property, particularly in the school parking lot, ISD 194 tacitly approved of this activity." It states the district was "negligent in failing to supervise its students."

As a result, the lawsuit is seeking damages in excess of $50,000.

Lakeville Schools released the following statement:

"Lakeville Schools are part of the fabric of the Lakeville community and we continue to grieve for the loss of Jacob Flynn and John Price and are sympathetic to Alex Hughes for the injuries caused when he lost control of his pickup truck. However, the auto accident that claimed Jacob and John and resulted in Alex’s injuries was in no way connected to a sanctioned or supported school activity, in fact the single vehicle rollover accident was over two miles away from the school after school was over for the week and appears to have been caused by the driving conduct of Alex Hughes and the behavior of the other young men in the pickup. Therefore there is no liability or fault on behalf of Lakeville Schools."
