TMZ, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins star lost control of his car in wet weather and crashed it into a gate on Wednesday morning (March 22).
Police were called to the scene shortly afterwards.The publication states that the 97-year-old actor sustained a bloody nose and mouth, as well as a possible concussion, but avoided serious injury and was not taken to hospital.Alcohol was reportedly not involved in the crash, but police have requested that Van Dyke retakes a driving test due to his age.This is not the first time that Van Dyke has been involved in a car accident during his senior years.
In 2013, the actor escaped uninjured after his car burst into flames on a motorway.Van Dyke was pulled from his vehicle, having not realised that the Jaguar had caught fire on a Los Angeles highway.He told TMZ at the time: “It just started making a noise, and I thought I had a flat at first, then it started to smoke, then it burned to a crisp.”The actor added that he escaped unscathed and “there was a fireman, a nurse and a cop just happened to be passing by.
Somebody’s looking after me”.While Van Dyke has mostly taken a step back from acting in recent years, he’s continued to appear in occasional projects across film and TV.Most recently he surprised viewers across the world by appearing as a contestant on The Masked Singer.
