ISLAMABAD, March 23 (Online): Actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke sustained minor injuries after a single-vehicle car accident in Malibu, California.<\/p>\n
Shortly after 11 a.m. on March 15, responding officers found the 97-year-old had driven his silver Lexus into a gate amidst heavy rain, according to CNN, reports.<\/p>\n
The Malibu Sheriff Department confirmed that Van Dyke appeared to be the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle. Standard traffic collision reports and evaluations took place following officers’ response.<\/p>\n
In February, Van Dyke became the oldest celebrity to compete on ‘The Masked Singer’.<\/p>\n
The actor sang Billie Holliday’s ‘When You’re Smiling’ under the guise of an enchanted forest gnome.<\/p>\n
“It looked like fun to me which it was. I did it because I knew that nobody would have ever guessed they’d have a 97-year-old guy on there,” he said.<\/p>\n
Van Dyke appeared in the original cast of the 1960 Broadway musical ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ and soon became a notable American figure with his role in ‘Dick Van Dyke Show’, which ran from 1961-1966.<\/p>\n
He went on to appear in several films, including the movie adaptation of ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ (1963) and ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ (1968).<\/p>\n
