Shia LaBeouf’s starstruck crash victim urged the actor to flee the scene of his Sunday morning car crash.

Brian Perrulli, one of the first bystanders on the scene when LaBeouf’s truck was overturned following the incident, says everyone realised the actor was badly hurt and had been drinking, and the other motorist suggested the star should make a run for it.

The eyewitness says, “The other guy was saying, `Maybe you should go, maybe you should get outta here,’ and he (LaBeouf) said, ‘No, I’ve gotta deal with this… It’s my problem.’”

LaBeouf was later booked and cited for misdemeanor drink driving. He also endured “extensive surgery” for a bad hand injury he picked up in the crash.

Meanwhile, the actor’s passenger at the time of the crash has been identified as his Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas.

The two pals had just left the Troubadour club after checking out new band the Lemon Son.

Shia LaBeouf’s mother wants the world to know: The kid is all right.

In recovery, but all right.

Shayna LaBeouf told E! News that her 22-year-old action-star son remains at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after undergoing “extensive hand surgery” in the wake of his truck-flipping, DUI-inurring car crash.

“I’m at the hospital right now, he’s doing fine,” said Shayna, who has been keeping watch over her son since his wreck in the wee hours of Sunday.

Though she declined to speak specifically to his condition, the extremely emotional mother thanked the public for their concern over her son’s well-being.

“Thank you, thank you,” she said on the verge of tears.

While Shayna isn’t talking about her son’s state, LaBeouf’s rep did, confirming Sunday afternoon that the Indiana Jones and Transformers star sustained injuries to his head, knee and, most severely of all, left hand.

LaBeouf is expected to be MIA from the Transformers 2 set for roughly one month while he recovers from the surgery.

The actor is due in court next month to face a misdemeanor DUI charge resulting from the accident.

Shia LaBeouf, who was arrested for drunk driving Sunday after being involved in a car accident in Hollywood, is recovering from surgery, his rep said in a statement.

“Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008,” said Melissa Kates in the statement issued Sunday evening. “Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month. No further comment will be issued at this time. ”

LaBeouf, 22, was driving in Hollywood when his car was involved in a collision around 3 a.m., Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. S. Wolf told the Associated Press.

He was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries he sustained to his head, left hand and knee, according to police. The female passenger riding with LaBeouf and the driver of the other car involved in the crash were not seriously hurt.

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.”
