Actor and comedian Rowan Atkinson is being treated in hospital for ‘minor injuries’ after a crash in his Mclaren F1 supercar, which then caught fire.
Police and firefighters said the incident happened at around 7.30pm last night in on the A605 near Haddon services. It is thought the £650,000 car hit a tree and then caught fire.
“This was a fire affecting a Mclaren F1 which was caused by a single vehicle road traffic collision,” said Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service. “The driver of the vehicle was out of the car before the arrival of firefighters.”
Crews extinguished the fire using one hose reel.
Mr Atkinson recently drove the fastest lap on BBC TV’s Top Gear in the programme’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car feature.
