LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Shia LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of DUI after his vehicle collided with another vehicle at the corner of La Brea and Fountain in Hollywood around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Sergeant Wolf of the West Hollywood Police Department told X17online on Sunday morning that LaBeouf "has been charged with a DUI as he exhibited outward signs of intoxication" at the scene. Additionally, LaBeouf sustained a "minor head injury" as well as injuries to his left hand, and was immediately taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, along with his passenger and the driver of the other vehicle.

Wolf added that he is not sure if the Transformers star will be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, and that no booking photo was taken, as the actor went directly to the hospital for medial help. LaBeouf remains in the hospital, and his publicist issued 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. No further comment will be issued at this time. "

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Australian actress Isabel Lucas was in the passenger seat of Shia LaBeouf's Ford F150 when it collided with another vehicle and flipped over early Sunday morning, according to the NY Daily News. Lucas, 23, who is LaBeouf's co-star in Transformers 2, has been dating actor Adrian Grenier for several months.

A source working on the film told NY Daily News, "She [Lucas] was in the car....They're friends." The source added that the two have been working late nights on the set and most likely were together to "let off some professional steam." Lucas sustained minor injuries from the crash, and was treated and released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday. The source said Lucas would return to the set on Monday, but that movie production will work around the estimated month LaBeouf needs to recover from his "extensive" hand surgery.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department charged LaBeouf, 22, with a misdemeanor DUI, and the actor could face another misdemeanor charge depending on the results of his blood-alcohol test.

In a recent Details interview, LaBeouf discussed his struggles with alcohol as well as his family's predisposition for addiction. LaBeouf also told the magazine, "I don't know how to have one drink," and revealed that his father is a former heroin addict, and that father and son "would drink together and smoke together."

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay told Access Hollywood that actor Shia LaBeouf was not drunk last Sunday when he was involved in a car accident that resulted in his Ford F150 being flipped over.

Though it was widely reported that the actor was drunk when police reached the scene of the accident, Bay said, “You’re gonna see - that’s gonna go away. That’s fresh news. He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before.” Authorities have since determined that the 22-year-old actor was not at fault for the crash, as the other driver allegedly ran a red light.

Prior to the crash that occurred on the corner of La Brea and Fountain, LaBeouf was at the Troubadour night club with co-star Isabel Lucas, and an insider for Us Weekly claims the actor was drinking at the venue. “He was dancing around and acting really crazy,” the source told the magazine. “He kept doing shots of whiskey.”

After the incident, LaBeouf was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center where he was treated for a minor head injury and injuries to his left hand. Bay added that he spoke to the actor two days ago and that his current condition may be written into the film's script. “I spoke to him yesterday in the hospital,” Bay said. “His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story.”

According to California law, your license can be suspended for up to a year if a breath, blood or urine test is refused when an officer suspects you are intoxicated.

Although Bay doesn't seem too concerned about re-teaming with the woman who called him "Hitler", he does have a warning for her. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, he wrote:

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

Nice to see he somehow managed to keep his sense of humor!
