There are new details about the extent of Shia LaBeouf's hand injuryand they're not pretty.
LaBeouf's left hand was "crushed" in last weekend's rollover car crash, and the young star will require "regular medical supervision until his doctors clear him to return to work," LaBeouf attorney Michael Norris said in a statement Friday.
There was no new timetable for LaBeouf's return to work on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the big-budget sequel the actor had been shooting. Earlier, pre-"crushed" reports said LaBeouf would be out a month.
A rep for Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the Transformers franchise, told E! News today that "no final decisions have been made" as to whether LaBeouf's injury will be written into the new movie. The studio is prepared to modify its schedule for LaBeouf as needed, the rep said.
Elsewhere, LaBeouf's publicist Melissa Kates declined comment on an Entertainment Tonight report that the 22-year-old had been released from Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
LaBeouf's sick-bay journey began last Sunday when, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the pickup truck he was driving collided with a motorist running a red light.

Poor kid. First his parents saddled him with that name, now this. I liked him in ‘Disturbia’.
But he seems nice.....I really hope he recovers from his injuries soon.
"Don't drive drunk!"
Hopefully a wakeup call. He’s been doing risky behavior for awhile, even though this one doesn’t appear to be his fault. Good luck to him.

I have no idea either. When I say the title, I thought it was going to be an Islamic Frenchman.
Should be when I “saw” the title.
Disturbia was good. Right up there with Joy Ride (Steve Zahn).
I dont care.
What was his BAC %? The old true drunk limit of 0.10%, or the new nanny state (& revenue generating)BAC limit of 0.08% ?
He was the lead male actor in Transformers, and played Indiana Jones’ son in the new movie.
One of the up and coming.
Thanks. I haven’t been to a movie in 7 years.
That would be .08 in CA. He was cited for DUI. Of course, the Hollywood spinmeisters are at work saying “its the other drivers fault” yadda yadda yadda.
He was still drunk....and might be starring as Capt Hook in the next Pirates movie.
Remind me to never get in the way of a celebrity drunk driver. It sounds like they’re going to make the other guy serve his sentence for him.
I am almost sure I heard on the news today even though the accident was not his fault. He was sited for a DUI.
Ou es La Boeuf?
I really liked him as Indiana Jones’ son. That was a good movie.
