(CBS)  The ShowBuzz has obtained the 911 call reporting actor George Clooney's motorcycle accident.

"It's a motorcycle accident, they're on the floor, two people, both wearing helmets," the caller said.

Last week, Clooney, 46, and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, were riding his Harley motorcycle when they collided with a car on a narrow road in Weehawken, N.J., across the Hudson River from New York. Larson was a passenger on the vehicle. Both were wearing helmets.

"She flew off the bike and hit the sidewalk," the caller said.

The operator told the caller to make sure that Clooney and Larson were not moved and that no one gave them anything to eat or drink.

Despite their injuries Clooney and Larson both attended the premiere of his movie "Michael Clayton" in New York on Monday. Larson came on crutches and Clooney's hand was bandaged.

Good grief I hope I never have to call an ambulance in the US...it sounds more painful than having the accident would have been...although I guess it helps if both callers are actually listening to each other.

what in the world is wrong with the operator? She keeps asking for the location ... the caller keeps telling her. If the accident were any worse, people could have died waiting on that stupid broad to get the address right.

Thank God their were not hurt more seriously. My husband and I had a simialr experience, and my husband was laid up for 1 year. My injuries were not as serious. However, I never go back on a motorcycle after that. Cars don''t have a lot of respect for motorcycles.

I heard Clooney and Larson were riding on the back wheel of their motorcycle going "Yeeehaw!" as they swirled around in ecstasy and then tragedy.
This is a heart monkey wrenching event that will pull our hair and our leg.
My sadness goes out to them and my mother.
