Former Channel 2 weatherman David Rogers, who pleaded guilty in Cleveland to drunkenly plowing into two highway workers in a hit-run accident last summer, has been sentenced to 10 months in an Ohio prison.

“With every bone in my body, I admit, accept responsibility and apologize for my role in this accident,” Rogers was quoted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer saying Monday at his sentencing.

Rogers, 44, a Cleveland native, was on vacation from his Channel 2 job last July 10 when he smashed into 27 warning cones around 4 a.m. and struck two workers repairing guardrails, officials said.

An uninjured worker chased after Rogers, who stopped about two miles away because of a flat tire.

Channel 2 fired the weatherman less than a month after his arrest.

In February, Rogers pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular assault, driving under the influence and failure to stop after an accident.

The more seriously injured worker, Miami University student Brad Davis, 21, suffered two broken legs and internal injuries.

Davis said Monday he would never again be able to run or play basketball with friends and he asked the judge to impose a prison term, the newspaper said.

The other worker suffered minor injuries.

Rogers joined Channel 2 in 2000 after three years as chief meteorologist at WKYC-TV in Cleveland. He previously worked in Philadelphia and Detroit.

“He’s distraught,” said Rogers’ lawyer, Albert Giuliani. “There were some contributing factors.”

The lawyer said that shortly before the accident, Rogers had left New York to move back to Cleveland “and commute to perform his duties as a meteorologist” on Channel 2.

“He moved back three days before the accident, and during that period of time his children were both ill,” Giuliani said.

“He was unloading boxes and fixing up his house and he had a couple of hours of sleep over a three-day period. That was a contributing factor.”

The prosecutor contended that Rogers fraudulently got a replacement Pennsylvania driver’s license a month after Cleveland cops took his after the accident.

But Giuliani denied it, saying his client needed duplicate ID so he could get a second mortgage on his home to pay for his defense – but never got the driver’s license after the lawyer told him a birth certificate was fine.

Rogers now faces a suit for civil damages brought by both injured workers, Giuliani said.
