Shia LaBeouf's injuries serious after car crash

Rising Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf, seen recently in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, faces complications and a long recovery after he was injured in a car crash.

The 22-year-old was cited for drunk driving but authorities have since said he was not at fault and that his truck flipped because another driver ran a red light early last Sunday in West Hollywood.

Michael Norris, LaBeouf's attorney, said in a statement Friday the actor went through four hours of surgery. His left arm remains immobilized from the elbow down.

"He will need regular medical supervision until his doctors clear him to return to work," Norris said.

"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 has been filming the Transformers sequel, Revenge of the Fallen. Director Michael Bay said the injury may beincluded in the film.

"His two fingers are pretty smashed, but we're figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it into the story," Bay told entertainment show Access Hollywood on Friday.

Police officials have said they won't release the other driver's name until the official investigation is completed and a report isdone, which could take weeks.
