Former 10TV anchor Jeff Hogan is recovering after a bodysurfing accident in North Carolina.
WRAL-TV reports Hogan was rescued Saturday at Wrightsville Beach and was "pretty banged up."
The NBC affiliate posted a video of the anchor in his hospital bed. Clad in a neck brace and bandages, Hogan thanked viewers for their well wishes and said he hoped to back on the air soon.
A co-worker was with Hogan at the beach and said Hogan's daughters were responsible for getting him out of the water.
Hogan joined WRAL in January, after two decades at 10TV. He took over the anchor desk upon Bill Leslie's retirement at the end of June.
