The ordeal comes nearly 10 years after Van Dyke was involved in another car accident while being rescued from his burning Jaguar in Los Angeles.
The actor was pulled from the vehicle, apparently unaware that it burst into flames on the freeway.
“It just started making noises and at first I thought I had a flat tire, then it started smoking, then it burned crispy,” he told TMZ at the time.
Van Dyke said he escaped unharmed and “a firefighter, a nurse and a police officer happened to be passing by. Someone will take care of me.”
