Shia LaBeouf Calls Car Crash %26#39;Eye-Opening%26#39;

Calling his July 27 traffic accident “eye-opening and terrifying,” considers himself lucky to be alive.

“The car hit me at 70 m.p.h.,” the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star, 22, tells Entertainment Tonight in his first interview since his truck flipped over on a West Hollywood street.

“It was one of the biggest things that’s happened to me, for sure, in my life,” said LaBeouf. “I’m grateful to be here.”

At the hospital, LaBeouf was cited for misdemeanor DUI because “he was showing obvious signs of intoxication from the smell of alcohol coming from his breath,” sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Wolf told PEOPLE.

However, the actor has yet to be formally charged with any crime.

In addition, LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident, because the other driver was found to have run a red light, a sheriff’s spokesman said.
