Veteran actor Dick Van Dyke suffered some injuries after his car was involved in an accident in Malibu, California.
According to reports, Van Dyke who is aged 97-year-old lost control of his Lexus while driving on, the road was wet after recent rainfall and crashed into a gate.
The police said he only had minor bruises. He was treated at the scene by medics and then brought home by a friend.
Though the police did not suspect drugs or alcohol as being the cause of the crash, they requested the Department of Motor Vehicles to mandate him to retake a driving test due to his old age.
In 2013, Dick Van Dyke was rescued from a burning car on a California freeway. He did not sustain any serious injuries.
In an interview with Craig Ferguson in 2010, the actor who was 84 years old then, recalled an incident where he drifted out to sea after he fell asleep atop his surfboard. In an incident that could have been a scene cut from Mary Poppins: Beach Vacation, he said a group of friendly porpoises helped push his board closer to shore.
Dick Van Dyke started his movie career in 1964, and years later he came back as inventor Caractacus Potts in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” He has four Emmys and one Grammy in his awards bag.
