Mr Bean anusurika kufa

Muigizaji maarufu wa sinema za vichekesho, Rowan Atkinson (56), maarufu kwa jina la Mr Bean jana usiku alinusurika kufa baada ya gari alilokuwa akiendesha kuyumba, kuacha njia, likagonga mti, likagonga nguzo ya alama ya barabarani na kuwaka moto.

Mr Bean anapenda kuendesha magari yanayokwenda kasi sana, na si mara ya kwanza yeye kupata ajali.

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 untilemergency 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.

In 1999, a year after buying it following the phenomenal success of his Mr Bean movie, he collided the red vehicle with a Rover Metro in Lancashire.

The segment, recorded at the Top Gear test track at the Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, sees a guest driving a standard car in a bid to get the fastest lap.

A Suzuki Liana was used for the shows recorded between 2002 and 2005, and a Chevrolet Lacetti between 2006 and 2010.

In 1994, the British car magazine Autocar stated 'it has too much performance for the public road'.

But it added that it 'will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see'.

Mr Atkinson, who has a passion for fast cars has written articles about different vehicles for specialist car magazines.

Though his collection of cars changes regularly, he also has a £125,000 Aston Martin Virage, a vintage Rolls-Royce, and an elderly Morris Traveller, which he regularly drives around the Oxfordshire village where he lives in a £1 million former rectory.

He also has a £2.5 million townhouse in Chelsea. 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.'
