Washington
(ANI):
It
turns
out
that
American
actor
Shia
LaBeouf
was
not
responsible
for
the
car
crash
that
landed
him
and
his
friends
in
hospital
on
July
27
morning.
According
to
authorities,
the
driver
of
the
pickup
that
LaBeouf
had
hit
caused
the
accident,
as
he
had
run
a
red
light.
The
actor
had
been
making
a
legal
left
turn
when
he
ploughed
into
the
oncoming
car.
"It
appears
he
was
not
at
fault," E!online
quoted
Los
Angeles
County
Sheriff's
spokesman
Steve
Whitmore
as
saying
July
29.
"The
other
car
ran
a
red
light
and,
if
not
already,
they
will
be
cited.
They
will
now
be
listed
as
Party
One
on
the
report,
indicating
they
were
at
fault,"
he
added.
The
other
driver
was
actually
cited
at
the
scene
for
the
moving
offence
that
resulted
in
the
rollover
of
the
Indiana
Jones
star's
ride.
But
even
though
the
22-year-old
Transformers
star
is
not
at
fault
and
he
has
to
spend
the
next
month
recovering
from
extensive
hand
surgery,
he
still
has
a
DUI
charge
to
take
care
of,
as
his
blood-alcohol
level
at
that
time
was
wrong.
LaBeouf
was
booked
on
suspicion
of
DUI
at
Cedars-Sinai
Hospital
as
according
to
sheriff's
Sgt.
Kristin
Aloma
he
'was
exhibiting
obvious
signs
of
intoxication'.
"He
was
showing
obvious
signs
of
intoxication
from
the
smell
of
alcohol
coming
from
his
breath," Sgt.
Scott
Wolf
told
People.
LaBeouf
was
cited
with
a
misdemeanour
DUI
and
no
changes
will
be
made
to
that,
Whitmore
had
stated.
