Rowan Atkinson 'cheats death' as 240mph supercar hits tree then bursts into flames

Actor Rowan Atkinson cheated death last night after careering off the road in his 240mph supercar.
The £650,000 McLaren F1 spun several times, smashing into a tree and ploughing into a road sign before catching fire on the opposite side of the carriageway.
The Mr Bean star, 56, pulled himself free from the wreck and was looked after by a passing motorist until emergency services arrived on the A605 at Haddon, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, at 7.30pm.

Firemen tackled the blaze and an ambulance crew took him to nearby Peterborough hospital where he was believed to be recovering last night.
It is not the first time the Blackadder star has crashed the supercar, which can sprint from 0-60mph in just three seconds.

Last night an East of England Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed the accident.
He said: 'A man has since been conveyed to hospital with minor injuries after the car he was driving left the road earlier this evening.'
