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

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.
