MIDDLEBURY — Early on the morning of April 11, Middlebury police and Middlebury Regional EMS ambulance staff responded to a report that a 23-year-old Middlebury College student had sustained “suspected internal injuries” after falling 45 feet from the roof of a building at 28 Weybridge St.

Police said the call came in around 1:10 a.m.

The name of the student wasn’t identified through town or college channels. But his family, through a GoFundMe campaign established on his behalf, identifies him as Chet Johnston.

Chet’s uncle Bill Johnston offers some details about Chet’s condition in the GoFundMe preamble. Among other things, he states that Chet “suffered a traumatic and life-changing spinal cord injury” because of the fall.

“Chet has made it through surgery at University of Vermont Medical Center and will soon be transferred to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston,” Bill Johnston continues. “Chet is going to face significant rehabilitation and additional clinical care. The family will need to make adaptive renovations to their home, purchase an adaptive vehicle, and significantly reduce their work schedules to focus on Chet.”

The GoFundMe had raised $218,264 as of Tuesday afternoon toward a $250,000 goal.

Middlebury College, at the Independent’s request, issued a statement on Tuesday about the tragic accident.

“Middlebury’s Student Affairs team has been in contact with the student and the student’s family and is offering ongoing support. Staff are working closely with the student’s friends and will continue to provide support as needed, the statement reads in part.

Johnston is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker on the Panther football team. The Scituate, Mass., native is a senior.
