Shia LaBeouf

I am a fan of Shia LaBeouf (pronounced SHY-uh LaBUFF). Not a huge fan, but a fan. I'm not really sure what has really catapulted him to the top, but I liked him in Transformers. What I'm not understanding is this story:

Sheriff: Shia LaBeouf not to blame in car crash

If he had been drinking and his alcohol level was over the legal limit, as the reports indicate, and he was the driver of the motor vehicle being operated in the crash, why wasn't he at fault? Turns out if you run a red light and are involved in an accident with an over-the-limit-intoxicated driver, you're at fault! But the other person shouldn't have been on the road at all, so here's the theory:

Driver A runs red light, while illegal, but doesn't hit anybody b/c those that are not legal to drive are not on the road. (Perfect world scenario, ok??) Theoretically, Intoxicated Driver B is not on the road, therefore should not be in an accident with Driver A. Driver B should be at fault for being on the road.

Go sip on that one for a while........ :)
