George Clooney Goes To The ER

Posted Saturday September 22, 2007 5:23 PM GMT

It’s always interesting when life imitates art that imitates life. Ironically, George Clooney, who rose to fame during his tenure on NBC drama “ER”, ended up spending some time in the real life emergency room, himself.

The Ocean’s Thirteen stud landed himself and his new girlfriend, Fear Factor’s Sarah Larson, in the hospital after a nasty motorcycle crash in New Jersey.

The good news is that they were able to get in and out of the emergency room in about an hour, hence the injuries were not life-threatening.

The bad news is that Larson received a facial cut and some broken toes. Clooney was treated for a hairline fracture to his rib and both of them had road rash.

According to George’s rep, "George said he was driving to the right of a car when the other driver signaled for a left turn. All of a sudden, the driver changed his mind, turned right, and ran into George."

But driver Albert Sciancalepore has a different take on the event. "It was his fault. He was behind me making a right turn in a single lane and he tried to cut me off from my right side."

And if police Sgt. Sean Kelly is right, then it may end up being the “O Brother Where Art Thou” actor’s fault. "It's a 'he-said, she-said' right now. But you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey."

According to a witness, Larson seemed to be the one most hurt in the crash. "She seemed really hurt. She had a cut on her face. He was saying, 'It'll be all right. Don't move.' He seems to really care about her."
