But the Accident Wasn't Shia's Fault...

Turns out that fatty accident Shia LaBeouf got in on Sunday wasn't actually his fault, police are saying.

'The other car ran a red light and, if not already, they will be cited,' an L.A. Sheriff told the press.  'They will now be listed as Party One on the report, indicating they were at fault.'

So yay - Shia isn't a totally reckless driver!  Champagne Apple Cider for everyone!

But wait...he's still going to get in trouble???

'LaBeouf was cited with a misdemeanor DUI and no changes will be made to that,' the Sheriff added, suggesting that the actor is still screwed.

It doesn't help Shia's case that he basically admitted to being an alcoholic earlier this year.

'I don't know how to [drink] like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink,' he told Details Magazine. 

Don't worry Shia, the law will take care of you.  Soon enough you'll be an AA regular, just like Nicole and Lindsay.
