Rx for Dave Roberts: Knee surgery
Injured on his last day of work, the 6ABC fixture needs an operation.
Dave Roberts, whose left knee was injured on his last day of work at Action News after 31 years, says he suffered a tear of his meniscus and will get surgery.
In pain, he persuaded his doc to move up the date of his MRI (which had been scheduled for today), and it was done late last night.
After doing a live weather shot Friday, he was on his way to the studio -- where staff and family were gathered -- when he stumbled in a hallway.
His colleague Adam Joseph fetched an ice pack.
