WEEHAWKEN, N.J. -- George Clooney suffered a broken rib and some scrapes on Friday when the motorcycle he and a friend were riding collided with a car as the actor tried to pass the other vehicle, authorities said.
Weehawken 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 if 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.
"It's a he-said, she-said right now, but you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey," Kelly said.
Kelly said the accident remains under investigation and no summonses have been issued.
The 46-year-old actor was treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, spokesman Stan Rosenfield said in a statement.
"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal."
Larson suffered a broken foot. Both she and Clooney were wearing helmets, Kelly said.
Clooney's latest film, "Michael Clayton," will be released next month.
I entered the ENTER key several times to separate the story... but when hit “post” it deleted the separation... now the whole story is merged... any reason why?

At the end of each paragraph put this in twice < br > without the spaces.
I learned that through trial and error.
We’re all glad you survived to share your story!
I didn’t post it into breaking news, but just as news.
Laws? For the little people.
yeah, i keep hearing he is gay.
I have ridden a Motorcycle for over 38 years, I have fallen once in a turn I hit something like sand and slid to a stop, I got a small scrape on my knee. but one thing I know is that if you ride, you must think that every single person driving a car arround you, wants to Kill you with their car, and that every single one will not signal, and if they do it is the opposite of what they will do! I have had all kinds of motorcycles, Honda 450, a Honda 1100 Shadow, Triumph bonneville 650, Harley panhead 1960, Suzuki 850 shaft drive, 2 Nortons, a BSA, and now my FatBoy and an Exile type Chopper I’m Building in My Diningroom.
Ride a harley and wear Black ( preferably with a huge Skull and crossbones patch on the back.) look like a Hells Angel...and it will buy you a small “zone” of safety
when I rode a Suzuki, people barely gave me room ...
now I have a Black Fatboy with loud pipes and a black leather jacket...and i seem to get a little more room to move out there.
Clooney had a chopper made by Exile Cycles of North Hollywood ca. His leftist ASS doesn’t deserve it, and I hope he wasn’t riding it for the Crash? I could care less about Him.
Mr Clooney is a Bush Basher... my comment is just another sarcastic way of blaming GW Bush for Mr Clooneys problems
>>>Clooney’s latest film, “Michael Clayton,” will be released next month.
I can think of safer methods for movie promotions.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Perhaps he likes her for what she has in common with men.
