Shia LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving after being involved in an early morning car accident in Hollywood on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.
LaBeouf was driving when his car was involved in a collision around 3 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. S. Wolf.
Both LeBeouf, who recently co-starred in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and his passenger were injured – as was the other driver involved in the crash. Wolf said he didn’t know the extent of their injuries.
Officers who were at the scene of the accident reported it was clear to them that LaBeouf, 22, was intoxicated. It is not know whether the actor will face felony or misdemeanor charges.
UPDATE from TMZ:
Law enforcement tell TMZ, Shia LaBeouf will not be booked on felony DUI charges — but he’s not out of the woods.
We’re told Shia is in surgery right now to fix his messed up left hand that was injured after he rolled his car at 3 AM today. Law enforcement says he’ll be cited and released on suspicion of DUI misdemeanor.
As for the others in the car, we’re now told a female in Shia’s car, as well as the male driver of the other car, suffered bumps and bruises but no big whoop. That’s why it’s now a misdemeanor, not a felony bust.

Shia LaBeouf has reportedly received a stern warning from officials at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. after he was allegedly caught smoking in a forbidden area.
The 21-year-old had reportedly taken a break from filming Transformers 2 at the museum when he decided to light-up in the restrooms – setting the smoke alarms off in the process, according to the National Enquirer.
Sources claim LaBeouf was given a lecture about his irresponsible conduct and was warned he would be kick off the property if he repeated the incident.
It’s not the first time LaBeouf has been in trouble for his nicotine habit. In February, he was charged with smoking in a prohibited area in California – to which he pleaded guilty and was forced to pay a $500 fine for the offense.

Megan Fox is preparing to get intimated with actor Shia LaBeouf – the two will share a love scene in the sequel to their hit film Transformers.
The actress has been attending script meetings for upcoming movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and has let slip one of the plotlines – there will be a blossoming romance between her and LaBeouf’s character.
She tells MTV.com, “As big as the first movie was, this is 10 times as big, 10 times as many set pieces, explosions, and acrobatic stunts. Shia and I make out a little bit; I don’t know if anyone wants to see that.”
And the 21-year-old insists she is working diligently to deliver on director Michael Bay’s vision: “His main note to me is just to look hot, so I try my best.”

Shia LaBeouf credits Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight with his acting success – insisting he doubted his future in Hollywood before befriending the veteran star.
The 21-year-old co-starred with Voight in 2003′s Holes – the movie credited with shooting the Indiana Jones star into the Hollywood big time.
And Voight’s words of wisdom led to the young actor to fall back in love with his craft – and insists he “loves” Voight for his kind approach.
LaBeouf says, “I guess he saw a kid who needed something that he could provide, which was guidance, a male figure, all of that, education. Jon showed me that there was so much to strive for. It all just started being very emotional for me and I fell in love with the title ‘actor’.
He adds, “He’s just a great friend. He’s a loving man. I love that guy.”
