George Clooney and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, were injured Friday when the motorcycle they were riding was clipped by a car in New Jersey, according to several media reports.

Fortunately, the Hollywood hunk and his new companion - who were both wearing helmets - managed to escape the accident with only broken bones and road rash.

Clooney suffered a broken rib while Larson, 28, broke her foot, the actor’s rep, Stan Rosenfield said. Both were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, N.J., and released.

"He’s doing fine," Rosenfield said of his client, who just last week was in Boston to present the Boston Film Festival’s lifetime achievement award to mega-producer Jerry Weintraub. "He has a broken rib. It’s very painful and it’ll take a long time to heal."

According to police, the 46-year-old “Ocean’s 11” star was driving his Harley-Davidson north on Boulevard East in Weehawken, N.J., at 3:30 p.m. when he collided with a 1999 Mazda Millenia.

Clooney, who’s been in the Big Apple to film his dark comedy “Burn After Reading,” told cops he was driving in the right lane when the other driver, identified as Albert Sciancaledore, 27, sped up to try and pass him before making a right turn, Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly told press.

However, Sciancaledore insists it was the silver-screen star who was passing on the right - illegal in New Jersey - as he attempted to make a right turn in his Mazda on the two-lane road.

"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.

The crash remains under investigation.
