LOS ANGELES — Dick Van Dyke sustained "minor injuries" in a Malibu car accident last week amid an ongoing downpour in Los Angeles County, police confirmed Wednesday to CNN.
The 97-year-old actor crashed his silver Lexus into a gate last Wednesday morning, a law enforcement spokesperson told CNN. According to TMZ, the "Mary Poppins" star was bleeding from the nose and mouth and possibly suffered a concussion in the collision.
The screen icon did not go to the hospital after paramedics treated him at the scene, TMZ reported Wednesday. Van Dyke reportedly told responding officers that he lost control of his car and skidded into the gate. The streets of Los Angeles have been especially slick in recent weeks amid heavy, near-constant rain.
