WXYZ-TV Chief Meteorologist Dave Rexroth is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday after he was seriously injured in a fireworks accident while on a family vacation in Iowa City, Iowa.
Rexroth, a popular weather forecaster, lost his eye in the Friday night blast and will undergo surgery to begin the process of receiving a prosthetic eye, WXYZ reported Monday morning.
He’s expected to fully recover by September.
