Adelaide Crows legend Tony Modra says he has left hospital after he was seriously injured in a truck crash last month.
In a statement, Modra said he has been "overwhelmed by the kindness and care" shown to him and his family.
Modra was injured in June when the truck he was driving hit a tree at Back Valley, near Victor Harbor on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula.
"I have left hospital to continue my recovery at home and only now starting to wrap my head around the incredible amount of support and well wishes that have come our way," he said in the statement released by the Adelaide Crows.
"I remain deeply grateful to the members of the public who gave me vital first aid until professional help arrived, to others who offered reassurance, and to the emergency responders, medical staff and specialists who have cared for me since the accident.
"My progress has been encouraging and we kindly ask that our privacy continues to be respected as we focus on my rehabilitation. Thank you."
