LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Shia LaBeouf's hand was "crushed" in the wreck that flipped his truck last weekend, and he still runs the risk of infection and other complications after a four-hour surgery, his lawyer said Friday.
The 22-year-old actor was injured in a late-night crash last Sunday in West Hollywood that authorities have since said 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 to The Associated Press on Friday from Michael Norris, a lawyer for the "Indiana Jones" actor. It added that LaBeouf's left arm was immobilized and that the production of the "Transformers" sequel has been modified to accommodate his recovery.
The actor 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 this return will be sooner rather than later."
