LAKEVILLE, Minn. A former Lakeville South High School student injured after crashing his pickup truck while playing a “Nerf War” game in 2015 is suing the Lakeville school district, claiming it failed to protect its students.
In a lawsuit filed this week in Dakota County District Court, Alexander Hughes, now 21, alleges that district officials knew or should have known students were playing Nerf War and “failed to use reasonable care to fulfill the duties that it owed its students.”
The single-vehicle crash south of Lakeville left Hughes with fractures to his skull and vertebrae, as well as a traumatic brain injury causing permanent paralysis to the left side of his face, according to the lawsuit, which asks for over $50,000.
