“His wife, Deborah, was understandably very upset. She had left her phone and other possessions inside their Tesla, which had malfunctioned and wouldn’t unlock, so she was trying to smash in a window.”

The onlooker said Roberts’ attempt to retrieve her belongings from inside the electric vehicle was “unsuccessful.”

“Deborah then went to the hospital by taxi with her daughter, where Al has since been surrounded by his family.”

Al Roker is home from the hospital just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. The TODAY weatherman shared the news after having an issue with blood clots in his leg and lungs. He even got to watch a little bit of the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where he has been a fixture for nearly 30 years. "All right, this is my version of a Thanksgiving Day parade — getting to leave the hospital," Al said in a video showing him walking to the hospital exit. "Time to blow this taco stand. Woo-hoo!"
