Rep: LaBeouf recovering from hand surgery

Los Angeles -- Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf is recovering from "extensive" surgery on his hand after a car accident early Sunday, his representative has confirmed.

LaBeouf, the 22-year-old star of "Transformers" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," was arrested after the accident for alleged drunken driving.

"Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008," publicist Melissa Kates said in a statement issued to People.com Sunday night. "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."

Police told People.com that LaBeouf was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries to his head, left hand and knee.

The other people involved in the accident -- a passenger riding with LaBeouf and the driver of the other vehicle -- walked away without any serious injuries, the magazine reported.
