Dick Van Dyke Pulled From Flaming Car In Scary Highway Accident

Dick Van Dyke was pulled from the flaming wreckage of his Jaguar after a scary accident on a Los Angeles highway on Monday.

According to TMZ, 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.

3. Scary. I worked with a woman in Hollywood whose daughter died in a car fire

on an L.A. Freeway.

What's sad is that with all the traffic on L.A. freeways only ONE person stopped to help?

Sheese.

No wonder I'm glad to no longer live there.

4. I have met Dick Van Dyke. He grew up two blocks from

where I grew up. My best friend's mother dated him in high school.

5. He looks amazing for his age, but he must have been very lucky:

6. In the mid-80's, I was working my way through college at a wholesale greenhouse.

The owners (and my bosses -- and the BEST bosses I've ever had) were two
brothers in their 30's. One of them was making a delivery and saw a car on
fire in the median of the Interstate he was on. He pulled over and found a
group of people standing a distance from the car. They told him that the
steering wheel had pinned the driver to his seat and that they had given up
on trying to get him out because of the danger of an explosion.
.
My boss ran to the car and, through brute strength (he was a gentle GIANT
of a man), pried the wheel away enough to pull the man out and drag him
20 feet away before the car actually exploded.
.
He was very modest and humble about it. He got some governor's award
for bravery at an annual presentation dinner.

You don't see that kind of risk to self these days.
