LOS ANGELES, July 29 (UPI) -- Police say another motorist was to blame for the car crash that injured Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf, who was subsequently charged with drunken driving.

"The other car ran a red light and, if not already, they will be cited," Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told Usmagazine.com. "They will now be listed as Party One on the report, indicating they were at fault."

The misdemeanor drunken driving charge against LaBeouf still stands, Whitmore said.

LaBeouf's "Transformers" co-star, Isabel Lucas, was a passenger in his truck at the time of the accident early Sunday morning, a source told Usmagazine.com.

Both Lucas and the driver of the other car escaped injury.

LaBeouf, however, has since undergone extensive hand surgery and won't be able to work on "Transformers 2" for a month.

"He is doing really well," LaBeouf's mother told Usmagazine.com.
