Dick Van Dyke helped from burning car

Actor Dick Van Dyke and his wife were able to escape unhurt after their car caught fire on a Los Angeles highway.

Bystanders helped the 87-year-old Van Dyke and his wife from their Jaguar after Van Dyke pulled the car over to the side of the Ventura freeway.

The fire occurred around 2 p.m. on Monday.

Publicist Bob Palmer said Van Dyke was “fine” but “slightly embarrassed” and was “appreciative of the instant help he got on the road.”
