Veteran actor Dick Van Dyke, best known for his self-titled hit 1960s
television comedy, survived a car fire, apparently unscathed, on a
Los Angeles-area freeway on Monday.
A spokesman for the California Highway Patrol confirmed it was the
87-year-old performer whose car was reported on fire on the
shoulder of the Ventura Freeway with a driver seen slumped over
the steering wheel.
Some off-duty nurses stopped to offer assistance, and firefighters
arrived quickly and put out the blaze, said the CHP spokesman,
officer Saul Gomez.
