According to Dick Van Dyke, "Somebody's looking after me!" And ain't that the truth, after he escaped without a scratch Monday while his car burned up on the side of the 101 Freeway.
"Van Dyke's melted car ... He's fine thank God!!," his wife, Arlene, tweeted after the incident, including a link to a short Vine video of the actor's fried ride.
Though according to the California Highway Patrol accident log it was two off-duty nurses who yanked the 87-year-old out of the four-door sedan, Van Dyke told a TMZ cameraman it was just an ordinary citizen, and "a fireman and a nurse and a cop just happened to be passing by." Hence the guardian-angel chat.

He sounds as crazy as a loon.
Somebody is looking for me, and then his car blows up?
Your spooks are getting annoying. And this wasn’t even a flying car.

Nothing wrong with new Indian Jaguar. We get rid of inline XK XJ 6 for very good reason. Not, ahh, Indian enough. NO REASON TO WORRY. New Jaguar much better. You no need cigarette lighter.
Ta ta!

He’s 87 and still driving?????
I know of someone who was driving an chopping wood until almost 100.
I actually met Dick a few years ago. He happened to be at a club in our local mountains where my band was playing. He was up dancing and having a good ole’ time, and at 80 something, wow!
He was kind enough to drop a $100 dollar bill in our tip jar. We played there again a year later and some people told me they saw him there again although I didn’t see him in the crowd that time. There was a lot of people there and I didn’t happen to notice him.
He seemed like a really nice, down to earth guy. I’m sure glad he made it through his accident.
the ride i’ll lay odds: was it gubmint motors or hybrid/electric?
He looks to me like he’s doing pretty well for 87.
....a lot of these old boys still working...bee keeper / stone mason / carpenter / fisherman / goat herder / cheese maker.........
Close calls like this are God’s “Yoo Hoo!”

Dennis Miller: “Perhaps you shouldn’t be driving if you’re old enough to remember when there weren’t any cars.”
Chitty Chitty went bang bang.
I guess they couldn’t see what model it was in the cloud of smoke.
My dad is 87 and still driving AND teaching ballroom and line dancing.
