Horror moment George Clooney crashed his motorbike into a Mercedes

George Clooney's motorbike crashed into a Mercedes car driven by a local man in his sixties on Tuesday morning, causing the actor to be hospitalised.

A source told MailOnline the US star, 57, was riding his scooter from his house in Puntaldia, Sardinia, to the set of his new Hulu TV series, Catch 22, which is in Capo Ceraso, in Olbia, when the accident occured.

George was at the intersection of Costa Corallina, a tourist village with a private harbour, when he got hit by the car as it turned left to enter the village.

The source added that George hit the windshield with his head and fell to the ground at around 7am, where he was quickly treated on the road.

Fortunately the star had a helmet and was not driving very fast,  but the windscreen was badly smashed. 

A spokesperson for the star said: 'George was treated and released from an Olbia hospital. He is recovering at home and will be fine.'

George was then taken to nearby John Paul II hospital, where the doctors performed a CT scan.

He had no fractures, but he did have trauma to the pelvis, hip and knee which should take around 20 days to heal.
