Man Loses Face During Freak Electrical Accident

A Fort Worth man is set to undergo surgery after a freak accident left him without a face.

Dallas Weams was painting a neighborhood church when his lift drifted into nearby power lines. Weams woke up in the hospital three months later with burn scars that covered almost his entire face. It left him with no smell, sight, and little feeling in his facial tissue.

Weams is set to have an experimental face transplant that will hopeful allow him to regain his smell and restoring some feeling in his face.
