Shia LaBeouf will miss a month of filming on the set of 'Transformers 2' because of the injuries he sustained in a car crash at the weekend.
LaBeouf was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after his car hit a truck and flipped across the road at about 2.30am on Sunday morning.
According to DigitalSpy, he has had "extensive surgery" at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, and will not be able to reprise his role as Sam Witwicky in the robot sequel until late August at the earliest.
A statement on behalf of LaBeouf said: "Attorneys for Mr LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008.
"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."
