Dick Van Dyke got into a car accident in Malibu…although he managed to avoid serious injury.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Police were responding to a call about a car accident last Wednesday morning and when deputies arrived they found Dick at the wheel of a 2018 Lexus LS 500 that he had crashed into a gate.
Our sources say the 97-year-old film and TV legend told police his car skidded and he lost control before slamming into the gate. The streets were wet from the constant rain in LA.
As for Dick’s injuries…we were told he was bleeding from his nose and mouth and may have suffered a concussion. Paramedics treated him at the scene and he had no interest in going to a hospital.
Dick has taken quite a beating on screen during his seven decades in Hollywood… so we’re guessing a few minor bumps and bruises doesn’t worry him terribly.
Our sources say drugs and alcohol were NOT involved…although cops did provide the DMV with paperwork requesting Dick’s re-driving test, one of the factors being his age.
We were told someone picked him up so he didn’t have to drive home from the crime scene.
