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, whose only injury was a fractured shoulder blade, managed to pull himself free from the wreck and was looked after by a passing motorist until emergency services arrived on the A605 at Haddon, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, at 7.30pm.
