George Clooney ‘has been injured in a bike accident in Sardinia’

George Clooney has been hospitalised after crashing his bike in Sardinia, Italy, according to reports.

The US actor, 57, was reportedly riding his bike at Costa Corallina when he collided with a car, while driving through Puntaldia on Tuesday morning, according to TGR Rai Sardegna. 

A picture from La Nuova shows a smashed windscreen, which suggests George hit it during the crash.

According to the site, George was said to be overwhelmed by the car which suddenly turned.

The actor was reportedly taken to the emergency room of the John Paul II hospital and his condition is not thought to be serious.

Sardinia is a large Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea and is over 500 miles from Clooney’s villa in Lake Como.  

George has been working hard in the region for his new project Catch 22, with the star directing, producing and starring in the six episode miniseries based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel.

It was announced in April that the multi-talented star was reducing his role in the Hulu production so he could concentrate on his directing and producing credits.

The two-time Oscar winner has hired Kyle Chandler of Friday Night Lights fame to take over the part of Col. Cathcart (played by Martin Balsam in the 1970 adaptation) originally earmarked for himself while he takes on the less demanding role of Scheisskopf.

The story, set in Italy during World War 2, focuses on Christopher Abbott’s character of Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier who is furious because the bureaucratic rule known as Catch-22.

The rule specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.

Hugh Laurie also stars as Major de Coverley for the series which has a release date of 2019.
