"Transformer" star Shia LaBeouf was not to blame for an early-morning car wreck in Los Angeles, according to the sheriff's department. They are pinning fault on the other driver for apparently running a red light.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore has said detectives have determined the other driver, who has not been identified, ran the light and will also be cited. LaBeouf was booked for a misdemeanor DUI and underwent surgery for injuries to his left hand.
"He was not at fault," Whitmore said.
LaBeouf's pickup truck collided with another vehicle at 3 a.m. Sunday in West Hollywood. LaBeouf was trying to make a left turn when his pickup collided with another vehicle, rolling the truck over.
According to the Associated Press, a person close to production of the "Transformers" sequel said LaBeouf's passenger in the accident was Isabel Lucas, a 23-year-old Australian who plays a supporting role.
Lucas has not appeared in any American films. She does have several upcoming projects, however, and has returned to production on "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The movie is due out next June.
Melissa Kates, a publicist for LaBeouf, said he plans to return to work within a month.
