KELO, branded as Keloland, Nexstar’s CBS-MyNetworkTV affiliate in Sioux Falls, S.D., welcomed back Don Jorgensen, the station’s 6 and 10 p.m. anchor, after he was in a serious motorcycle accident over Memorial Day weekend.

Don and Pam Jorgensen

Jorgensen and his wife, Pam, both spent a week in the hospital.

“I broke my tibia down here, fractured my wrist up in here, fractured my cheekbone up in here, so you can still kind of see it’s swollen and a little disfigured,” Jorgensen says.

They both spent five nights in the hospital where they both had two surgeries to repair their broken left legs.

The station followed Jorgensen’s accident, recovery and return in a series of on-air news stories.
