    LONDON — British media say actor Rowan Atkinson, famed for his “Mr. Bean” television shows and films is recovering in hospital after crashing his supercar.

    The 56-year-old comedian, also known for the “Blackadder” historical comedy shows was expected to be discharged on Friday after treatment for a shoulder injury, the Daily Mirror reported.

    Atkinson’s spokesman could not immediately be reached.

    Police and firefighters both said that a vehicle crashed late Thursday close to Haddon, a village about 85 miles (137km) north of London.

    The car struck a tree, a lamppost and caught fire, authorities said. Firefighters said the driver was not trapped and he was taken to hospital.

    Atkinson was driving his McLaren F1 supercar — one of the world’s fastest road cars, the newspaper said.

    And he was just talking about it 3 weeks ago on Top Gear UK...

    Hehehe pero seriously he has clocked over 30,000 MILES on his McLaren F1 as he state on his interview on Top Gear. That's a lot of miles for a supercar so for sure sanay na yun!

    Good thing the engine is not located in front of the car! That alone spared him tons of $$$ in repairs!

    He injured his shoulder meaning his speed is well above 100kmh as estimated by my PT wife due to the seatbelt. Buti nag-seatbelt siya. Pero sabagay sa mga carnut talaga bibihira naman reckless eh. Matibay din talaga construction nitong McLaren F1 ha.
