INDIANAPOLIS — U.S. Rep. Jim Baird, R-Ind., was released from the hospital Tuesday after a car crash Monday evening while driving back to Washington, D.C.

Baird and his wife are safe, stable, and in good spirits, his son Beau Baird said. He confirmed it was a hit-and-run but said there’s no evidence the crash was politically motivated.

Baird’s office says he’s expected to make a full recovery and remains committed to serving Hoosiers. Lawmakers, including Gov. Mike Braun, U.S. Rep. Rudy Yakym, and Sen. Todd Young, have sent their well-wishes.
