NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, who was critically injured in a car crash on April 12, will return to work on Monday, his spokesman was quoted as saying on Saturday.
"The governor expects to resume his duties on Monday," said Anthony Coley, Corzine's communications director, The New York Times reported on its Web site.
Corzine, who was released from the hospital on Monday after breaking his left leg, several ribs, a collarbone and his sternum, was doing well, Coley said.
The governor's office could not immediately be reached for comment.

Corzine was injured when the sport utility vehicle he was traveling in collided with a vehicle that swerved to avoid another car. The SUV was going 91 mph (146 kph) and Corzine was not wearing a seat belt, for which he later apologized, saying he had set a bad example.
The Democratic governor was in intensive care for most of his 18-day stay at Cooper University Hospital in Camden and has been recovering at the governor's mansion in Princeton.
"Doctors are very pleased with how he's progressing," the newspaper quoted Coley as saying.
