LaBeouf may never recover from car crash....SAD!

Shia LaBeouf has a chance of never recovering from the injuries he sustained in a car crash, according to his attorney.

The actor was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last week (27Jul08) after his truck flipped across a road and collided with another vehicle in Hollywood.

He was charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and suffered serious hand injuries in the smash, which have disrupted shooting on his new movie Transformers 2.

The 22-year-old's attorney Michael Norris reveals LaBeouf's hand is "crushed" and runs the risk of infection.

Norris tells People.com, "The force of (the) impact immediately flipped Shia's vehicle over, and, as a result, Shia's left hand was crushed.

"Shia underwent four hours of surgery on Sunday and has been recovering since then. His doctors remain hopeful that he will fully recover, but due to extensive surgery and the nature of the injuries, there remains a substantial risk of both infection and other complications."
