Dick Van Dyke hit a block wall while driving in Malibu, authorities say

LOS ANGELES — Dick Van Dyke was driving on a slick road last week in Malibu, California, when he crashed into a block wall, authorities said Wednesday.

No other vehicles were involved when Van Dyke, 97, hit the wall about 11:20 a.m. March 15, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

"Van Dyke sustained moderate injuries and was subsequently treated on the scene by members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department," the sheriff's department said.

The rain-soaked roads appeared to have been a factor, and the car was "traveling at a speed which was unsafe for the present conditions," the statement said.

No passengers were in the vehicle, and drugs and alcohol were not factors, the sheriff's department said.

Representatives for Van Dyke could not immediately be reached for comment.

Van Dyke, famous for, among others, "Mary Poppins" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show," also made headlines a decade ago for an incident that happened while he was behind the wheel.

A man pulled him from the vehicle after he saw him slumped over the steering wheel. Some calls to 911 reported that Van Dyke seemed to be passed out, according to the California Highway Patrol.

He tweeted a lighthearted comment about the harrowing event.
