George Clooney was treated for a broken rib and scrapes after he and a companion collided with a car on Friday afternoon. Clooney and Sarah Larson were riding a motorcycle on a narrow road along the Hudson River across from NYC.
They sped up to pass a driver on the right who was making a righthand turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. The accident is still under investigation, but Kelly said it is illegal to pass on the right in the state of New Jersey.
Stan Rosenfield, Clooney's spokesman, described a different situation. "The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.
Rosenfield said Clooney and Larson, who suffered a broken foot, were both treated Palisades Medical Center and released.
Clooney was in the area filming the comedy "Burn After Reading" with Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand, but his injuries will not interrupt the schedule, Rosenfield said.
