LaBeouf’s Hand’Crushed’

Shia LaBeouf’s hand was”crushed” in the wreck that flipped his truck and he still runs the risk of infection and other complications after a four-hour surgery, his lawyer said.LaBeoff was injured in a late-night crash in West Hollywood that authorities have since told was the fault of the other driver. The statement from lawyer Michael Norris said the driver may have been speeding and not paying attention. LaBeouf was hospitalized and cited for drunken driving in the wreck, the impact of which flipped his truck after he tried to make a left turn around 3 a.m.”Shia’s left hand was crushed,” read a statement released from Michael Norris, a lawyer for LaBeouf. It added that LaBeouf’s left arm was immobilized and that the production of the”Transformers” sequel has been modified to accommodate his recovery.He has been recovering at a Los Angeles hospital since the surgery and”will need regular medical supervision until his doctors clear him to return to work,” Norris’ statement said.”We are hopeful that his return will be sooner rather than later.” LaBeouf and his attorneys have cooperated with police, the statement said, adding that”the Sheriff’s Department has now released information that the other vehicle ran the red light while striking Shia’s truck.” Norris also said independent investigators”received information that suggests that the other driver may have been traveling upwards of Fifty miles per hour, and that told driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident.” Sheriff’s officials have said they won’t release the other driver’s name until after a report is issued, which could take a few weeks while the official investigation is conducted. Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said LaBeouf was not at fault and that the other driver apparently ran a red light.”We are very appreciative, again, of the patience that everyone has shown us, and of the many concerned citizens who have stepped forward to provide information regarding this collision,” the statement said.In the meantime,”Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” director, Michael Bay claims that LaBeouf was not drunk when he was involved in a collision that resulted in his truck flipping upside down.”You’re gonna see, that’s got to go away,” Bay said.”That’s fresh news. He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before.”
