A Warren County sheriff’s deputy injured in a Tuesday night wreck has been released from the hospital.

Sheriff Martin Pace said Timothy Ware left River Region Medical Center around noon Friday. A hospital spokesman did not return calls Friday night.

Ware is home recovering from a broken collar bone, Pace said, and “seems to be doing OK.” It will be at least a couple of weeks before he returns to work, on light duty, the sheriff said.
