George Clooney

Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot when the motorcycle they were riding collided with a car as the actor tried to pass the vehicle, authorities said. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.

Weehawken (N.J.) Police Sgt. Sean Kelly said the collision occurred at 3:30 p.m. as Clooney and friend Sarah Larson were traveling north on Boulevard East and sped up to pass on the right a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was preparing to make a right turn.

Kelly said it is not known whether the driver of the other vehicle, who has not been identified, had used his turn signal. Boulevard East is a narrow road with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.

Kelly said the accident remains under investigation and no summonses have been issued. (AP)
