George was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

This isn’t the first time he has been involved in a motorcycle accident. In 2007, George and former girlfriend Sarah Larson were involved in a crash in New Jersey.

At the time he suffered a broken rib, and she broke her foot.
