Dick Van Dyke (http://gossipcop.com/tag/dick-van-dyke) was reportedly pulled from the flaming wreckage of his Jaguar after a scary accident on a Los Angeles highway on Monday.

According to TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/19/dick-van-dyke-car-accident-flaming-vehicle-fire-smoke/), a Good Samaritan named Jason Pennington saw a vehicle full of smoke pulled to the side of the 101 freeway, with an older man hunched over in the driver’s seat.

Pennington ran to aid the motorist, who turned out to be Van Dyke.
The 87-year-old Hollywood icon was pulled from the Jaguar shortly before flames engulfed it.
TMZ says neither man required medical attention, and Van Dyke’s wife arrived to take him from the scene.

Glad he's ok. Loved his accent in Mary Poppins.
