Seems like a bit of a speed freak our Rowan

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.
