Savannah Guthrie Suffers Eye InjuryAfter Accident With Son’s Toy Train

Today anchor Savannah Guthrie is still healing after suffering an eye injury from her son’s toy.

The host called into the show this morning to explain her absence earlier this week, sharing that her 2-year-old son Charley’s toy train is to blame.

“Charley threw a toy train right at my eye and it tore my retina,” she said. “It has a really pointing edge and he threw it right at me.”

The accident left her temporarily blind in her right eye: “It happened last week, actually, and then I lost my vision in my right eye about 24 hours later,” she said.

“It turned out to be kind of serious. They were afraid my retina would detach. They told me to just take it easy and they’ve been doing a bunch of laser procedures to avoid having to do the whole surgery.”

Ayayay! Toy trains are no joke. We hope she heals soon!
