After only recently appearing on the Top Gear show, reports are that Rowan Atkinson has crashed his McLaren F1 supercar in the UK, in wet weather. In dramatic reports, Atkinson crashed the F1 into a lamppost and a tree, apparently losing control of the vehicle before it burst into flames.
In scenes reminiscent of Johnny English, Atkinson apparently crawled from the flaming vehicle and was taken to hospital with only a shoulder injury. It’s the second time he’s crashed his McLaren F1, with the first time happening in 1999. The car is estimated as having a value of £650,000, though probably not right now.
Atkinson was the fastest “star in a reasonably priced car” on the Top Gear show (see video above) and has a collection of vintage and supercar models. The F1 is apparently with the McLaren recovery team right now to get it back into shape.
