"It was immediately evident to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was drunk and he was after placed under arrest," Wolf said.
LaBeouf was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries to his head, left hand and knee, Wolf said. A female passenger in LaBeouf's car and the number one wood of the other vehicle were non seriously injured.
Wolf said LaBeouf, 22, was booked for a misdemeanour DUI and released.

The accident occurred when LaBeouf tested to make a left turn, Wolf said. A collision occurred and LaBeouf's car trilled over. The cause of the crash remained under investigation, and Wolf did not experience additional details.
LaBeouf has been working as an histrion for 10 years. He starred on the Disney Channel serial publication "Even Stevens," starred in last year's "Transformers," and this year appears opposite Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
LaBeouf has had previous brushes with the law, only each was relatively harmless � to the point that they reinforced his image as a Hollywood good-guy with an edge.
In November, he was charged with infringement criminal encroaching after a drunken broadside in a Chicago Walgreens.
He later told David Letterman on the "Late Show": "Drinking and driving is one thing, but imbibing and shopping ... it's precisely as bad."
Prosecutors dropped charges because Walgreens Co. and a security company indicated they didn't want to continue the case.
Two of LaBeouf's publicists did not immediately return calls seeking comment Sunday. Neither did two attorneys who have got previously represented LaBeouf.
