Gayle Conelly Manchin, wife of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, was released from the hospital Thursday after she was injured in a car accident in Alabama, Manchin's office said in a statement.
The accident happened Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 65 near Clanton, Alabama, according to Alabama State Troopers. Manchin was driving a 2022 GMC Yukon when she was rear-ended by a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse driven by Scott Smith, 40, of Alabaster, Alabama. The impact of the crash pushed the Yukon into the back of a tractor-trailer that was stopped in traffic.

Smith was not injured in the accident.
The accident is under investigation by the Alabama State Troopers.
