George Clooney<\/span><\/p>\n Expected He\u2019d Die<\/span><\/p>\n Moments After Motorbike Crash at 70 MPH<\/span><\/p>\n 5\/22\/2019 9:59 AM PDT<\/p>\n George described the horrific accident to The Hollywood Reporter, saying he was doing 70 MPH when he smashed into a Mercedes-Benz sedan. He immediately noticed his helmet had split and assumed he\u2019d suffered a fatal neck injury.<\/p>\n Considering how nasty it looked\u00a0on video<\/strong><\/a>\u2026 George is right. Good call to hang up the riding gloves and helmet. He describes it in the vid, starting at 31:35.<\/p>\n As we reported \u2026 George was tossed about 20 feet<\/strong><\/a> in the air on the island of Sardinia when his scooter was cut off<\/strong><\/a> by the Mercedes.<\/p>\n Pretty miraculously, he was back on set just 4 days later in Sardinia to shoot his Hulu series, \u201cCatch 22.\u201d Chauffeur-driven, we\u2019re guessing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/h5>\n
