'Mr. Bean' In Car Accident




COMEDIAN Rowan Atkinson cheated death last night after crashing his £650,000 supercar.
The Mr Bean and Blackadder star, 56, was in his McLaren F1 - one of just 100 in the world - when it spun three times, ran into a tree and hit a signpost. He climbed out of the 230mph car with a minor shoulder injury. A source said: "It's a miracle he walked away." No other car was involved.

A photo of the 7.30pm crash near Haddon, Cambs, was posted on Twitter.
The star was taken to Peterborough City Hospital. As a matter of routine, he was carried on a spinal board.

He damaged the front of the car in a previous crash, with a Rover Metro in Lancashire in 1999. He later spoke of his embarrassment, admitting "The prang was embarrassingly low-speed and therefore not related to my handling of the car, thank God.

"I was very, very lucky."

In 2001 his Aston Martin V8 Zagato collided with a barrier at a car enthusiasts meeting in Yorkshire. And in 2009 a romantic night out went up in smoke when his 1952 Jaguar racing car burst into flames.
