Shia LaBeouf, an actor known for his role in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, who suffered a severe injury in a car accident in West Hollywood, Calif., last month, experienced a four-hour surgery, which left his arm immobilized, according to a statement released by LaBeouf’s attorney, Michael Norris.

Making the most of the unfortunate incident, director Michael Bay says he is considering introducing the 22-year-old actor’s hand injury into the story of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, the sequel to last year’s “Transformers.”

Michael Bay stated in an interview with “Access Hollywood” on Friday that he was trying to find a way to include the young star’s real life wound in the film script. “I spoke to him yesterday in the hospital. His two fingers are pretty mashed, but we’re figuring out a way to shoot around it, kind of write it in the story,” he said.

Shia LaBeouf was injured in a late at night crash that took place last Sunday in West Hollywood. The “Indiana Jones” star was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol, but officials now assert the accident that flipped his truck was not caused by the actor, and that the other driver apparently ran a red light, the Associated Press reported.

His “Transformers” sequel co-star, Australian actress Isabel Lucas, 23, was the passenger of LaBeouf’s vehicle at the time of the accident, but she was not harmed.

Nonetheless, Michael Bay defended the actor from suspicion that he had been drunk driving. “He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before,” the New York Daily News quoted the director as saying during the “Access Hollywood” interview.
