Video footage of this accident has been leaked to an Italian newspaper and is from roadside CCTV footage. The footage reveals the dark-colored Mercedes car pulling into a wrong turn making a turn and then hesitating.
The driver then realizes that two mopeds are coming towards it. The first moped driver manages to swirl his bike and it does not hit the car. But the second biker which was George did not have time enough to take a deviation and went head-on into the car.
George was thrown off his bike and fell onto the car’s windshield. The accident took place on the state road to Costa Corallina, in the province of Olbia. The car driver was good and offered assistance and even called an ambulance for Clooney.
