George Clooney bought a $28,000 car for a motorist whose vehicle he hit in a road accident.

The "Ocean's Thirteen" actor shunted a female driver's Lancia Ypsilon from behind with his large sedan while out in Pennabilli, Italy.

He accepted full blame for the accident and left the surprised woman a replacement vehicle with a note of apology attached to the windscreen.

It read: "I'm so sorry. Hope you'll forgive me. George Clooney."

This is not the first car accident for the 47-year-old heartthrob.

Last September, Clooney was rushed to hospital after a car knocked him and then-girlfriend Sarah Larson off his motorcycle.

The star suffered a fractured rib and burns, while Larson broke her foot.

A spokesman for the actor insisted it was the fault of the Mazda driver involved while the accused claims the "Syriana" actor was attempting to overtake him on the right, a maneuver banned in New Jersey where the accident happened.
