Geez. Everyone wants to let celebrities off the hook. A witness to the Shia LeBeouf DUI crash this weekend says he overheard the starstruck victim telling the actor to make a run for it. One of the first bystanders on the scene when Shia flipped his truck says after everyone realized how drunk and hurt his was, the guy he hit suggested he take off.

The eyewitness says, “The other guy was saying, `Maybe you should go, maybe you should get outta here,’ and he (LaBeouf) said, ‘No, I’ve gotta deal with this… It’s my problem.’”

Shia was of course later charged with misdemeanor DUI. Meanwhile, Shia’s unknown passenger has been identified as his Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas.
