In his latest crash, Dick was treated at the scene by paramedics as he suffered a nose and mouth bleed and a possible concussion. Dick was not sent to hospital and was picked up by a friend and driven home.
Sources told TMZ that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident, but police officers have requested a re-exam for Dick due to his age.
The crash came ten years after Dick was pulled from his Jaguar on August 19, 2013 after it caught fire on the 101 freeway in LA’s Calabasas.
A man named Jason Pennington saved the day after seeing the car full of smoke on the side of the road.
Pennington told TMZ at the time that he saw an elderly man bending over the wheel of the vehicle and rushing to the scene.
He stopped to see the actor struggling inside after running towards the smoking car.
Dick did not require medical attention after the incident, although he was apparently somewhat disoriented.
