D’Angelo said he was released from Richmond’s Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center on Friday, just days after the September 19 accident along Virginia’s Route 711.

McMillan issued a statement yesterday afternoon assuring fans that D’Angelo, born Michael Eugene Archer, was doing well and “is anxious to finish the recording of his soul masterpiece that the world has patiently awaited.”

The news of D’Angelo’s release from the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit comes after comments made Monday morning by Sergeant Kevin Barrick, a Virginia State Police spokesperson, who explained that the musician was still being treated for injuries characterized as “critical” in a press release issued over the weekend.

Calls to Virginia State Police for comment were not returned by press time.

D’Angelo was rushed by Med-Flight helicopter to VCU Medical Center soon after last week’s accident, a single-car crash that took place just before 8 p.m. on September 19. Barrick said D’Angelo’s 2003 Hummer was headed east on Route 711 in Virginia’s Powhatan County when it ran off the road and slammed into a fence before overturning.

Barrick said D’Angelo, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. Another person inside the Hummer, Lynne Sellers, also sustained significant injuries; she was taken by ambulance to VCU Medical Center, where she was treated and released days later.

Police investigating the wreck are still unsure who was operating the vehicle when it crashed; according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Hummer is registered to D’Angelo’s brother, who lives in New York.

D’Angelo told the AP that Sellers was at the wheel when the Hummer skidded off the highway. Beyond that, he said, “I don’t really remember anything” about the crash.

Two weeks ago, D’Angelo was handed a suspended prison sentence after being convicted of cocaine possession. In April, the singer was fined $250 and given a 90-day suspended jail term after pleading guilty in Virginia District Court to charges of marijuana possession and driving under the influence of alcohol; his driver’s license was revoked for one year.
