Transformers actor Shia LaBeouf rolled his truck in Hollywood over the weekend and sustained a pretty bad injury t o his left hand but otherwise his female passenger and another driver were not injured too bad. Cops say he was cited and released on misdemeanor suspicion of DUI - it would have been a felony bust had the other people been more seriously injured.
It must have been a hell of a smash up - the actor's huge F150 pickup was broadsided and rolled a couple of times after an intoxicated Shia made a left hand turn in front of the oncoming car.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ.com that the accident happened at about 3:00 AM at the corner of La Brea and Fountain in Hollywood. A witness tells us he heard a loud collision around 2:45 AM, then the sound of Shia's truck rolling over. The witness said he heard what he thought was a girl screaming "F**k," among other things.
Shia, who promised to behave after he was popped at a Walgreens in Chicago for trespassing, had surgery to his hand immediately after the accident.
His rep issued a statement Sunday morning that said: "Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008. Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month. No further comment will be issued at this time. "
