A man claiming to have witnessed the said accident, wherein the "Indiana Jones" star's pickup truck collided into another vehicle this weekend, says the other driver was telling the actor to flee the scene but LaBeouf didn't want to.

Witness Brian Perrulli had arrived on the scene after the crash and overheard the unnamed driver of the other vehicle telling the young actor to leave the scene and pretend it never happened.

He tells Accesshollywood.com, "Shia was tending to the other people in the car, signing over information, like insurance and stuff, and basically, I overheard the guy tell him, 'You should just get out of here and go,' and Shia said, 'Nah, man. I gotta deal with this. My license plate, it's my car. I don't wanna go. I gotta deal with this.'"

"The guy Shia hit told him, 'You should get outta here,' and 'I never saw you.' He said, 'I never saw you,' and Shia said, 'No, man, I gotta stay here and deal with this. It's my problem.'"

Perrulli also says that LaBeouf didn't appear to be intoxicated.

He continues, "He looked more disoriented and shocked more than drunk. I wouldn't have thought he was drunk."

LaBeouf was cited for misdemeanor DUI for the accident although authorities now believe that the fault lies at the other driver for running a red light.
