Rowan Atkinson Taken to Hospital After Car Accident
 
Seems like a bit of a speed freak our Rowan

Quote:

Rowan Atkinson has reportedly been involved in a car crash and has been taken to hospital.

According to the Evening Star, emergency services were called to the A605 at Haddon at 7.30pm, after the single vehicle collision involving Atkinson's McLaren F1 car.

The Blackadder star was then taken to Peterborough General Hospital, reportedly with a shoulder injury.

Atkinson had previously escaped a car accident with minor injuries in 1999, after colliding with the rear of a Rover Metro in his sportscar, and also emerged unhurt after crashing into a dustcart in 2009.

The 56-year-old also recently clocked up the fastest time recorded around the circuit of Top Gear's 'Star In A Reasonably Priced Car' segment.

Atkinson, 56, was driving the £650,000 car, which has a top speed of 230mph, when he lost control and spun it several times before smashing into a tree and then a lampost before the car reportedly caught fire.

The actor managed to pull himself from the wreckage and was being cared for by another motorist when emergency services arrived at the crash site on the A605, near Haddon, Cambridgeshire.

If he was committing a road traffic offence prior to the "accident", I hope that he may be found a suitable "oubliette", wherein which he may reconsider his momentary transgression ..... :idc:

Marc 05-08-2011 07:27 AM

Why the hell are people (outside any professional role) being able to buy cars that can go 230mph? Where on earth are you going to go to actually go that fast?! You're not going go be able to do it through any built up area or the countryside :shrug:

Marc 05-08-2011 08:34 AM

I'm not saying he deserves it but he's an idiot for not knowing better.

Dodgy article, why state that the car goes 250mph? Obviously to put the idea in our minds that he was going that speed when he crashed I guess.

Actor Rowan Atkinson has been discharged from hospital after a road accident.

Atkinson left Peterborough City Hospital via a back door flanked by four security guards, but did not comment.

Security guards escorting the star, who was in a wheelchair, tussled with a cameraman as he left in a Harley Street private ambulance.

Ooh, a celeb-style exit..... :whistle:

Thats what the press do though. The news said today "there was no suggestion he was travelling that fast"
