Shia LaBeouf’s left hand was “crushed” in a weekend traffic accident and possibly runs the risk of infection, reports People Magazine.

“The force of (the) impact immediately flipped Shia’s vehicle over, and, as a result, Shia’s left hand was crushed,” said the actor’s attorney Michael Norris in a statement.

“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.”

A week ago, LeBeouf, 22, suffered the injuries when his truck collided with another vehicle.

“We have also received information that suggests that the other driver may have been traveling upwards of 50 mph, and that said driver may not have been looking forward at the time of the accident,” the lawyer says.

A Los Angeles County sheriff spokesman said the actor may have not been at fault for the crash.

“We have strong evidence that the other driver ran a red light,” sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. “The case is still under investigation.”
