Dick Van Dyke was involved in a solo car crash this morning in Malibu, reports TMZ. The actor's vehicle apparently slid and he lost control before it crashed into a gate, police sources told the entertainment website. Arriving officers found Van Dyke behind the wheel of his 2018 Lexus LS 500. The 97-year-old reportedly suffered from minor injuries like "bleeding from the nose and mouth" and he may "have suffered a concussion."He reportedly did not want to go to the hospital and had a friend pick him up. While there's no confirmation that rain played a factor, it's no secret that roadways have been slick due to the massive amounts of rainfall that have hit the region over the past two days. Drugs and alcohol were not a factor, but police have submitted paperwork to the DMV to request the "Mary Poppins" star retake his driving test, according to the outlet.The accident comes a decade after the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" actor's car caught fire on a Los Angeles freeway.

Eventually, after two years in banking, I decided to quit finance and pursue my passion for electronic music. I became super interested in production and wanted to learn more. Originally I was learning on Youtube. I felt that wasn’t enough, so I went to attend ICON Collective, where I learnt so much about sound design, mixing and mastering, and song writing. Now I am so lucky to be able to pursue producing and DJing full time! Given how different my life was a few years ago, I will never take this career for granted.”...
