Marc Summers is still deep in recovery mode after injuring his face in a car accident in August.

More than two months after the crash, the Food Network star got some discouraging news: "I have to have more surgery," he tells PEOPLE. "My left eye isn't where it's supposed to be and the ripped skin from where I hit the credit card machine [in the taxi] hasn't healed properly."

Summers, 60, was riding in the back of a cab when the driver lost control and the vehicle hydroplaned causing the crash. Summers hit the partition between the front and back seats of the cab.

Food Network star Marc Summers is grateful he's in one piece and recovering quickly after being in a scary car accident last week.

Summers, 60, was riding in a cab in Philadelphia after returning from shooting an episode of Restaurant Impossible, during a "torrential downpour" when "the cab lost control, hydroplaned," he tells PEOPLE.

The crash caused the Unwrapped host to hit the partition between the front and back seats of the cab. "Everything on the left side [of my face] from my eye socket down was just wiped out," he tells PEOPLE. "My eye socket got all swollen. I'm having trouble seeing completely out of the left eye ... There's lots of titanium and screws in my face."
