LOS ANGELES — Dick Van Dyke is uninjured after his Jaguar caught fire while he was driving on a Los Angeles freeway.

California Highway Patrol officer Saul Gomez said Monday that the 87-year-old entertainer was not treated or cited at the scene.

The officer said witnesses reported the fire just before 2 p.m. Monday and said that an elderly man was slumped over behind the wheel of the flaming car. Passers-by stopped to help the man, whom police and fire officials identified as Van Dyke.

Arlene Van Dyke posted a video online that showed her husband speaking with police officers and the remains of his burned-out car.

The 87-year-old actor pulled over to the side of the freeway, when Jason Pennington spotted smoke coming from the car, according to CBS. Pennington reportedly pulled the man out seconds before it became fully engulfed in flames.

“I’m all ‘you gotta get out, you gotta get out’ and he goes: ‘I’m okay, I’m okay,” Pennington told CBS in Los Angeles. “So I just pulled him really hard.”

Van Dyke showed he was still at the top of the game when he tweeted:
