Rowan Atkinson, survived a high speed car crash last night. The actor reportedly lost control of his McLaren F1 supercar which hit a tree and a lamppost before bursting into flames in Cambridgeshire. The 56-year-old was taken to hospital where he was treated for shoulder injuries.
The star of Blackadder and Mr Bean previously walked away from a car crash in 1999 and also collided with a dust cart in 2009. A source at last night's accident said: “It’s a miracle he walked away. He’s very lucky.”

In a recent edition of Top Gear, Atkinson, who is a petrol-head with a big collection of vintage cars, clocked the fastest circuit time for the ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ segment.
