ST. CHARLES, MO (KTVI) – A senior prank in St. Charles County brought rush hour traffic to a halt this morning.  About 50 students from Francis Howell High School gathered a few miles away from the school grounds at a commuter parking lot. They road bicycles, skateboards and scooters to school down Highway 94 to school.

Rush hour traffic came to a stop. Senior Cooper Cathcart said, ‘We wanted to cause the teachers to be late and student to be late we thought that would be funny.’

It was not funny to motorists trying to get to work on time.  Some people commented on the Fox 2 Facebook page.  One person said, ‘in short people need to chill out appreciate good kids having fun no vandalism no harm’  But another disagreed, ‘stupid, dangerous prank.’
