LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. actor and television personality Gary Collins has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in a Los Angeles suburb, TMZ.com reported Wednesday.

Collins, 69, is perhaps best-known as the former host of "The New Hollywood Squares."

Witnesses told TMZ Collins was driving his black Ford Explorer in Sherman Oaks, Calif. around 6 p.m. Tuesday when he crashed into a blue Toyota.

One source said Collins was traveling at least 60 mph at the time, causing the Toyota to spin around into oncoming traffic.

The collision forced Collins to lose control of his Explorer and travel into oncoming traffic, where he hit two cars parked on the other side of the street, TMZ said.
