Dick Van Dyke Crash: Veteran Actor Gets 'minor injuries' In A Car Accident In Malibu
On the morning of March 15, police were called to the site, where they discovered that a silver Lexus had struck a gate.
A Malibu Police Department spokesman confirmed the 97-year-old actor, who appeared in the classic children's movies "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Mary Poppins," had "minor injuries" in a phone conversation with CNN.
The actor, who last month became the oldest contestant to ever appear on Fox singing competition "The Masked Singer," was also reported to the fire department, according to the spokesman, who added that no additional information was provided about the actor.
After receiving a Tony nomination for his performance in the show "Bye-Bye Birdie," Van Dyke was given "The Dick Van Dyke Show," which aired on CBS from 1961 to 1966.
His film career began in 1964 with "Mary Poppins," and four years later he made a comeback as the creator Caractacus Potts in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
Van Dyke, who has also received four Emmy awards and one Grammy, appeared in "Mary Poppins Returns" in 2018 and danced.
He appeared in a music video last year for his wife Arlene Silver's band, Arlene & The Vantastix.
