The 87 year-old Dick Van Dyke, a popular actor, comedian and writer whose carrier spans seven decades, was driving to a dentist appointment on the afternoon of Monday August 19th, on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles, California. Suddenly, the car began to smoke and Van Dyke managed to abandon the vehicle shortly before it exploded.

Van Dyke’s Jaguar inexplicably began to smoke as the actor was driving along the shoulder of the freeway. Van Dyke pulled over and alerted emergency services. An ambulance that was very close to the scene of the car accident pulled up and the paramedics helped pull Van Dyke out of the smoking car. The rescue came just in the nick of time, as the Jaguar exploded a short time after Van Dyke and his rescuers walked away from the car.

Van Dyke is reportedly doing well after the explosion accident, and he refused medical treatment. Van Dyke’s wife tweeted a photograph of the smoking carcass of his car and stated that Van Dyke is doing well and is resting after the accident.

A spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol has stated that Van Dyke was not cited for the accident.

A car crashed into a house in Medford, Massachusetts in the early morning hours on August 3, 2013. Witnesses state that the car was rolling down a hill when it crashed into a pole and flipped into the house. They described a screeching sound as if the brakes were malfunctioning. Evidently the driver ran out of gas at the top of the hill, and gravity brought him back down, building up enough momentum to flip the whole vehicle.

Medford Police have indicated that a mechanical failure with the vehicle is likely to blame for the car accident. They say that the driver was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the car crash. The residents were in the house at the time of the crash, but luckily no one in the house was injured.

The driver of the car was looked over by paramedics at the scene of the crash, but he appeared to be fine and refused any further medical treatment.

Medford Police have not revealed whether the driver will be fined or charged, if at all.

This past Fourth of July holiday weekend turned fatal when a hit and run motor vehicle accident at the base of the Sagamore Bridge in Sagamore, Massachusetts killed an Israeli tourist, who was traveling in a minivan with four other people, on July 5, 2013.

The 44 year-old Israeli man was visiting the United States with his twelve year-old son, who was in the minivan at the time of the auto crash. A collision between two pick-up trucks on the other side of the bridge caused one of the pickup trucks to travel into the opposite lane and hit the minivan. The other pick-up truck fled the scene without being identified. The victims in the mini-van and the driver of the pick-up truck that remained at the scene were all transported to local hospital emergency rooms to be treated for non life-threatening injuries.

The Massachusetts State Police have posted a request for public assistance on Facebook. It reads: “Police are seeking information on a dark colored pickup truck that fled the scene. We do not have a make or model as of yet on the vehicle but are looking for a dark colored pickup with damage to its left front or left side.” It is unclear whether anyone in the pickup truck that fled the scene was injured in this tragic motor vehicle accident.
