Support is pouring in from around the world for a BYU student involved in a tragic accident.

Josh Hinton was a ballet dancer and the student body president at his high school in Tooele. At BYU freshman orientation on Aug. 29, he ran through a bounce house obstacle course. He hit his head on an inflatable post and went down.

"They said, 'This is catastrophic, life-changing. He will never walk again or dance again," his mother, Jen Hinton, said.
