How Mr Bean crashed the world’s most expensive car.
Actor  Rowan Atkinson escaped injury[1] yesterday after his 230  mph sports car – said to be the most expensive car in the world – crashed into  a Mini Metro. The  impact flipped[2]  the Metro and its woman driver over through 90 degrees, leaving the vehicle  lying[3] on its side. Margaret  Greenhalgh was treated in hospital for suspected whiplash[4] injuries but wasn’t  believed to be seriously hurt.     Rowan  Atkinson, star of Mr Bean and The Black Adder, was travelling in a 230 mph
McLaren F1, which is valued at £ 650,000 when the accident happened on the A6
in Lancashire. As he approached the village of Forton, his cherry red car  smashed into the F-registered[5] Metro which was travelling  in the same direction.  Atkinson,
whose car was badly damaged in the crash, walked away unscathed[6] and alerted the emergency  services. Witnesses noticed the 44-year-old actor was badly shaken up by the  crash.  The star’s agent said: “We can confirm there was an incident which Mr Atkinson  greatly regrets. He is obviously co-operating with the police.”  The Mc
Laren F1 fetches[7]   a price in excess of £ 600,000 because it is no longer in production and is  regarded as the ultimate sports car with a 6.1 litre V12 engine which was  developed by BMW.
