It is being reported that:

Shia LaBeouf made a left turn and collided with an oncoming car about 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of La Brea and Fountain avenues. The actor’s Ford F-150 pickup truck rolled over in the crash.  LaBeouf sustained injuries to his head, left hand and knee.  He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for surgery (on his hand) and has been released.

LaBeouf’s passenger as well as the driver of the other car involved were treated for minor inuries and released from Cedars. 

He was charged only with misdemeanor drunk driving because the injuries sustained to all parties were minor.

Back in November 2007 while in Chicago, the actor was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after ignoring a security guard’s commands to leave a Walgreens store.  He was drunk in that scenario as well.  Those charges were later dropped as Walgreens did not want to proceed with pressing charges.

His reps have released the following statement:

“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,” his reps’ statement continued. “No further comment will be issued at this time.”
