Pictured: The shocking car wreck which left Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf hospitalised

The 22-year-old actor was arrested on a suspicion of drink driving when his Ford pick-up truck collided with another vehicle at a junction in West Hollywood around 3am.

LaBeouf was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after injuring his left hand, head and knee.

LaBeouf was attempting a left turn at the crossroads of La Brea Avenue and Fountain Avenue when he collided with an oncoming vehicle and flipped his car.

The contents of LaBeouf's car, including pizza boxes containing hot pizza, a brand new toilet seat in its box and a rucksack were thrown out of the car and strewn across the road.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Wolf said: 'It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest.'

LaBeouf was booked for a misdemeanour charge of driving under the influence.

The Transformers actor's female passenger and the driver of the other vehicle were not seriously injured in the smash.

The actor, who starred in this summer's blockbuster Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, is expected to take a month off work while he recovers from his hand injury.

His spokeswoman Melissa Kates 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. '
