American actor and director George Clooney was reportedly injured in Italy on Tuesday.

Italy's Chi magazine reported that Clooney was leaving his hotel on the island of Sardinia on a scooter when he crashed into a small truck.

State news agency ANSA said he was taken to a hospital and later discharged with a slight contusion on his knee.

ANSA said Clooney, who gained fame in the medical drama ER, is in Sardinia to film a miniseries based on Joseph Heller's book "Catch 22." The accident, meanwhile, remains under investigation.
