The veteran actor and comedian was a frequent panelist on game show To Tell the Truth and was also known for his role on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Orson Bean died in Los Angeles on Friday after being struck and killed by a car in Los Angeles. He was 91.

“A pedestrian, a male in his 90s, was crossing Venice Boulevard when multiple vehicles traveling eastbound collided with him. The deceased sustained major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles City Fire Department,” an LAPD spokesperson told PEOPLE, adding that it wasn’t a “hit and run” as the other parties remained at the scene and rendered aid. The collision is currently under investigation.

“The car coming westbound did not see him and clipped him and he went down,” LAPD Capt. Brian Wendling told. “A second vehicle was coming up, was distracted by people trying to slow him down and then looked up and then a second traffic collision occurred and that one was fatal.”
