Can I terminate a probationary employee who is out from injury indefinitely?

I have an employee who is still within his probationary period. He injured himself on a weekend, not at work, and his doctor has put him on indefinite leave. My company cannot be without this particular employee's position because he is our driver and our business relies on getting samples into our facility on a daily basis. I have other employees picking up the slack, creating more overtime, but I really need to fill this position. Additionally, the employee didn't do a very good job and we were planning on letting him go before he injured himself. Can I still terminate this employee because I need to hire a replacement? Thanks for your assistance.
