ROME – American Legendary actor George Clooney was treated in hospital on Tuesday for minor injuries after a scooter accident in Sardinia, reported by Italian media.
The “Ocean´s Eleven” actor hurt his leg when a Mercedes car allegedly turned without giving right of way and collided with his scooter, Italian media told the viewers.
Clooney, 57, was reportedly thrown from his two-wheeler on to the windscreen of the vehicle in Costa Corallina on the island´s northeast coast at around 8am (0600 GMT). The car driver called an ambulance which took the Money Monster’s star to the hospital for first aid medical care.

His wife Amal, a human rights lawyer, rushed to Clooney´s side in the hospital, according to local newspaper La Nuova Sardegna, who reported he was later discharged and advised to follow a course of physiotherapy.
A CAT scan revealed no broken bones, just minor trauma to one knee. The northeast coast of Sardinia is popular with the rich and famous, although Clooney is on location on the island to film a new mini-series “Catch 22”.
The Ocean’s Eleven actor is known to adore Italy and owns a number of properties in the country. He officially married Amal in Venice in September 2014 a few days after a lavish party in Lake Como.
Italian Media further reported that the part of the road was closed following the collision. Police told AFP they were unable to comment while operations related to the crash were still underway.
Back in 2008, Clooney had broken his rib in a motorcycle accident in New Jersey while his then-girlfriend Sarah Larson suffered a broken foot.
We wish a speedy Recovery to Mr. Clooney!
