The 89-year-old driver of the car Gary Collins hit the night he got arrested for drunk driving in October, died.

However, Collins, who was sentenced last week to four days in jail in connection with his DUI arrest, will not be charged for the death of 89-year-old Warren Gates, who was behind the wheel on October 23 when running a red light he struck Collins’ Ford Explorer.

While Collins was not at fault for the crash, he failed to pass a sobriety test and was taken into custody, where he was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence and released after posting a $40,000 bail.

Gates, who was hospitalized since the accident, passed away Friday at 8:00 PM from undisclosed injuries, TMZ reported.

Chief coroner's investigator Craig Harvey said the cause of Gates' death was listed as an October 23 auto accident and that an autopsy will be performed.

"We are saddened to hear that the gentleman has passed away. This was an unfortunate accident. We are pleased that the police found that Mr. Collins was not at fault. We send our condolences to the family," Collins’ lawyer said.

According to E!Online, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office confirmed that there’s nothing to be filed against Collins.

Last Thursday, the 69-year-old TV personality pleaded no contest to one count each of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol content above .08, the legal limit and was sentenced to four days behind bars.
 
Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Rebecca Omens instructed Collins to surrender by Jan. 10 to start serving his time.

She also ordered Collins to serve four years' probation upon his release, pay a $500 fine, perform 100 hours of community service, enroll in an 18-month alcohol education program and attend 26 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Throughout his career, Collins has made appearances in shows including "JAG," "Yes, Dear" and "The Young and the Restless," and also hosted "Hour Magazine" talk show in the ‘80s.
