The 97-year-old star opened up about what happened after she was involved in a car accident in Malibu, California.
Dick Van Dyke has broken his silence after crashing his car in the rain on March 15. The 97-year-old Hollywood star crashed his car at speed after losing control and crashing into a fence in a California neighborhood.
The actor reported to the police that when they arrived at the scene and found him sitting in the driver’s seat, he slipped in the rain and could not avoid the accident. Van Dyke told reporters on March 25 that he was “absolutely sore” after he “slammed my face into the wheel” in his first public appearance since the crash.
The actor, who suffered a busted lip and needed two stitches, was in good spirits and spoke about the horrific incident.
Asked how her recovery is going, she told photographers: “I’m fine. It’s painful.” Then he said, “The airbag didn’t go off, so I turned the wheel.” “So I got two stitches, but other than that it was kind of funny,” he said, pointing to his mouth.
The author joked about his age.
“I’m 97 years old,” he said, adding: “All my friends are dead.”
Asked by reporters if he was doing well, he thanked his wife, Allen Silver, 51, for taking care of him and replied: “I probably would have died anyway” and “I’m happy.” According to an American news site, the actor’s wife took his car keys because she was worried about his safety. According to sources, the actor may no longer be visible to neighbors passing by.
According to the anonymous tipster, “Dick is at a point where he needs to get off the road for his own safety and the safety of others.”
The official continued, “Arin is worried that if she doesn’t get the key now, it will be too late.”
It’s been 10 years since Dick Van Dyke was rescued from a burning Jaguar on a Los Angeles freeway in 2013. A man named Jason Pennington told TMZ he was driving when he saw a burning car on the side of the road.
Jason pulled 87-year-old veteran actor Van Dyke from the burning car after seeing the elderly man trying to escape when it stopped. It’s only been a month since the masked singer appeared on the American version of Dick Van Dyke’s TV talent show.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger, 44, was left in tears after realizing who was behind the mask in what she called “the biggest reveal ever”. Frank Sinatra’s “When You’re Smile” was recorded by Van Dyke, who also gave a special “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” performance for the crowd.
We wish him a speedy recovery!
