Shia LaBeouf arrested, injured in drunk driving crash

American actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after he crashed his truck into another car in the early hours of Sunday, police said Sunday.

The 22-year-old who starred alongside Harrison Ford in this year's release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," was hospitalized with a hand injury, police said.

A woman riding in his car and a woman behind the wheel of the other car were also injured in the accident.

The crash occurred at 2:24 am (0924 GMT) in West Hollywood, when LaBeouf plowed his pickup truck into another car. His truck was said to have rolled over twice.

The female driver of the other vehicle was hospitalized and released.

The drunk driving charges were filed "because of the alcohol on his breath and person, and there were signs of intoxication," said Sergeant K. Aloma of the sheriff's West Hollywood station.

Aloma said the actor was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of injuries to his left hand.
