COMIC Rowan Atkinson was recovering yesterday after wrecking his 240mph supercar.



The Mr Bean and Blackadder star cheated death when his McLaren F1 hit a tree and a signpost then caught fire.

Rowan — who broke his shoulder blade — had been driving home from working on his new movie, spy spoof Johnny English Reborn.


Agent Peter Bennett-Jones said: “He is shaken but not stirred. He will want the car repaired straight away.”

Motor-mad Rowan, 56, was treated in Peterborough after the crash near Haddon, Cambs. He left hospital in a wheelchair to be whisked away by private ambulance.

The car — which he bought for £650,000 14 years ago and pranged in 1999 — is worth up to £2million.

A neighbour in the village of Apethorpe, Northants, where he lives with his wife and two kids, claimed he drives “like an idiot”.
