After spending the week in the hospital, Shia LaBeouf left Cedar-Sinai Hospital following surgery on his hand. Shia’s attorney confirmed his hand was “crushed” in his weekend traffic accident. Doctors kept Shia in the hospital for an extended period of time because they were concerned about infection.

“The force of (the) impact immediately flipped Shia’s vehicle over, and, as a result, Shia’s left hand was crushed,” said his attorney Michael Norris in a statement.

“Shia underwent four hours of surgery on Sunday and has been recovering since then,” the statement continues. “His doctors remain hopeful that he will fully recover, but due to extensive surgery and the nature of the injuries, there remains a substantial risk of both infection and other complications.”

LaBeouf, 22, suffered the injuries when his truck collided with another vehicle in West Hollywood at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

“We have also received information that suggests that the other driver may have been traveling upwards of 50 mph, and that said driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident,” the lawyer says.

A sheriff’s spokesman said there was evidence that the other driver may have ran a red light. Shia was cited for for misdemeanor DUI because “he was showing obvious signs of intoxication from the smell of alcohol coming from his breath,” said sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Wolf.
