Nick Wright, 29, a motorcycle officer who has been with the department for eight years, had been hospitalized at Grady in Atlanta.
But, he's back home now and waiting for a doctor's clearance before returning to work, according to sheriff's spokesman Frank Huggins.
The collision happened at the Sharon Road intersection when the pickup slowed to make a turn, according to Huggins, and Wright struck it in the rear.
Wright was released from the hospital Thursday.
