The wreck -- which was not LaBeouf's fault (even though he had apparently been drinking earlier, the other car ran a red light) -- almost claimed two Transformers cast members. La Beouf's co-star (and girlfriend of Entourage star Adrian Grenier) was also in La Beouf's pickup truck, and received a minor head injury. (That one will probably be blamed on Bumblebee.)

Ironically (is it irony? Ever since the Alanis backlash I second-guess myself), exploding-car advocate Bay offered sage advice to LaBeouf before the wreck, telling him not to drive his new motorcycle until shooting was finished, just in case anything happened to him and the production had to shut down. Maybe if Shia had been driving Ironhide, or if the other car had been a Stunticon, none of this would have happened.
