WEST HOLLYWOOD Actor Shia LaBeouf reportedly was driving drunk when he crashed his pickup truck into another vehicle, and rolled the truck twice, at a 2:24 a.m. crash in West Hollywood, authorities said Sunday.
LaBeouf, 22, was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where was surgery for his left hand at 9 a.m., said Sgt K. Aloma of the sheriff's West Hollywood station. At least two other people were injured as well, including the woman who was riding with him in the actor's Ford F-150 pickup truck.
LaBoeuf had a supporting role in this summer's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
The traffic accident at La Brea and Fountain avenues occurred about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Aloma said.
Los Angeles city fire spokesperson Ron Myers said two ambulances transported at least three people to area hospitals, after being dispatched to the scene of the accident at 2:24 a.m.
Aloma said at some point during the traffic accident, the truck rolled over a few times.
Aloma said she had no description of the other vehicle, but did say the female motorist -- the lone occupant inside that vehicle -- was treated and released at an area hospital.
LaBeouf's passenger was also treated and released from an area hospital.
Aloma said the charges were filed "because of the alcohol on his breath and person, and there were signs of intoxication."
The crash occurred in an intersection that is half each in the cities of West Hollywood and Los Angeles, and is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which provides police services in West Hollywood.
Où est La Buf?
Too bad. He’s cute and seems to have a bright future.
I do recall that he alluded to the fact that his parents were somewhat nutso hippies. No foundation.
Too much too soon w/shaky foundation.
He was good in “Disturbia”.
There’s nothing nicer than an F-150, unless it’s an F-250.
Cute boy. I admired him when he was arrested for illegal smoking, but this is unacceptable. I hope he does some jail time, for his own good.
This kid is a trainwreck destined for celebrity rehab.
What do you mean hope he doesn’t implode? He’s the kid of a couple of leftist permissives and hippy leftovers, and already admitted to be smoking pot and such since a young teen... He’s been on the path to problems long before now.
Nice truck.
Or at least it was.

Too bad.
He was in the young guy in the Indiana Jones movie this summer.
She’s married. Lucky bastard.
Heck, that’s just getting broken in by New Mexico standards.
Isn't that illegal ... or at least immoral?
Actually it has been determined the other driver has been at fault.
See post #39, the other driver ran the red light.
