Shia LaBeouf avoids prosecution but likely will lose license

Shia LaBeouf won’t be charged with drink driving following his July 27th car accident in Hollywood that left him with a shattered hand. Authorities arriving at the scene suspected the Transformers star had been drinking, but the Los Angeles District Attorney has declared there isn’t enough evidence to bring a case against the actor. LaBeouf, who was arrested before undergoing hand surgery after the collision, has already avoided blame in the near-fatal accident. A 21-year-old man was cited for running a red light and causing the crash last month.
LaBeouf’s Transformers director Michael Bay has never doubted his young star’s sobriety on the night of the crash. At the time of the accident, Bay said, “He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… That’s (DUI rumour) gonna go away.?
However he is not getting off scot-free. Shia will almost certainly have his license suspended because he refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. TMZ reports Shia’s DMV hearing is tomorrow.
Shia had no idea he’d smashed his left hand to smithereens in a near-fatal car accident in July (08) because he was too concerned about his passenger, actress ISABEL LUCAS.
The movie star flipped his truck twice after he collided with another vehicle in Hollywood.
He has since undergone surgery on his hand and must now undergo a second procedure so he can have full functionality again.
But he admits that, immediately after the crash, he had no idea that he needed hand-saving surgery.
He says, “You’re in fight or flight mode. There was a lot going on.
“It hit on her (Lucas) side, so I was extremely fearful of that and then it was about getting her out, getting the people in the other car out, and only after everything’s settled, then you realise what’s happened.” The other driver, Simon Herbert has been cited for running a red light and causing the 70 mile-per-hour crash.
By the way Shia’s new movie ‘Eagle Eye’ is now in theatres and iit appears to be getting good reviews.
