Meet Isabel Lucas (Shia LaBeouf’s passenger in alleged drink-driving incident)


Australian actress caught up in Transformers star’s crash

You may already have read about Shia LaBeouf’s alleged drink-driving incident, which saw the actor flip his Ford F-150 truck after allegedly (yeah, we have to use the word “alleged” a lot, just to be safe) making a left turn and then being hit by another car.

The authorities are now saying that LaBeouf was not at fault, and that the other driver involved in the prang ran a red light. Still, the star of Transformers and the recent Indiana Jones sequel, was charged with DUI (driving under the influence), so he’s not blameless in this.

Reports say that LaBeouf badly injured his hand in the crash, and required extensive surgery to patch it up. More interesting is the news that Shia’s female passenger was Isabel Lucas (pictured above), currently shooting Transformers 2 with LaBeouf. The not-unpretty Aussie actress suffered minor injuries in the accident.

More pics of Isabel after the jump, and a bonus video (’cause that’s what this post is all about)…

Geeks of the world, prepare to get happy

Now if only someone would invent a real lightcycle…
