Motorist not to pursue Clooney for damages

The motorist who collided with George Clooney in New Jersey on Friday has insisted he will not be pressing charges.

Albert Sciancalepore blames biking Clooney for the crash, which left the movie star with a fractured rib and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, with broken toes, but he is not planning to pursue compensation for the minor damage to his car.

Sciancalepore dismissed reports he was signalling left as he turned right on a street in Palisades - and collided with Clooney, who was riding through the neighbourhood on a rented Harley Davidson motorbike.

The Mazda motorist said: "I did not see him at all… To me, it's his fault.

"He's a good actor, he seems like a good human being, there's no reason why I'd want to go after his money."

The owner of the mangled motorbike, Asa Murray, insists he has no plans to cash in on the actor's misfortune either.

The Harley Davidson of Ocean County owner said: "We don't have any thoughts about any auctions or any profitable matter based upon somebody else's misfortune."

Murray hopes the actor will return to his store in the near future - to sign the bike he crashed.
