Flynetpictures.comShia LaBeouf's good fortune continues.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office has opted not to file charges against the 22-year-old actor in connection with the July rollover crash that left him with a mangled hand.
"We have formally rejected filing DUI charges because of insufficient evidence," D.A. spokeswoman Jane Robison told E! News Thursday. She said that her office expects to file charges against two other people involved in the smashup but no further details will be available until tomorrow.
LaBeouf was cited for misdemeanor driving under the influence while in the hospital but was never taken into custody nor required to post bail.
He was laid up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to repair his crushed left hand, for close to a week following the July 27 accident—which authorities eventually determined was the fault of the other driver.
Herbert Simon, 21, was issued a citation for running a red light. His car hit LaBeouf's F-150 Ford pickup at about 2:30 a.m. in West Hollywood as the Eagle Eye star was attempting a legal left turn.
LaBeouf and his passenger, Transformers 2 costar Isabel Lucas, were both taken to Cedars by ambulance. Lucas was released later that day after being treated for minor injuries.
The accident, while it didn't exactly leave legions of fans in tears for LaBeouf's virtue, did draw more attention than ever to what seemed like party-hearty habits.
"[Drinking is] not something that is conducive to being a role model—no iconic actors that I know of have problems like that," the burgeoning heartthrob had ironically told Details not long before the crash.
"And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink."
