Actor George Clooney has been involved in a scooter accident on the Italian island of Sardinia. He was doing 60 mph when a car suddenly pulled in front of him, throwing Clooney off his bike 20 feet in the air. His helmet struck a car windshield, causing it to shatter.

Clooney was taken by an ambulance to a nearby hospital. He was treated and released, now at home recovering with non-life threatening injuries.
