    One newspaper Quotes "lucky to be alive"
    look at the damage to the car, does it look like a total wreck?
    The 56-year-old is reported to have freed himself from the wreckage, with a fellow motorist comforting the Mr Bean actor before paramedics arrived at the scene.
    According to a spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service, Atkinson was taken to hospital with "minor injuries".
    One witness is quoted as saying: "Rowan is lucky to be alive".
    The Sun quotes a witness as saying: "It's a miracle that he managed to walk away from the crash. He's a very lucky man. The car was a wreck, really badly damaged. Rowan must be absolutely gutted."
    These dick wad reporters need hanging. always quoting " one witness (unidentified) says Its a miracle that he managed to walk away from the crash", when in fact he got out unaided, and having the front seat in the center it can be an easy car to get out of.
    There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking

    At least he drives the damn thing. Hope he didn't kill any trees with his expensive phallic symbol.

    If I remember correctly he crashed it about 12 years ago as well.

    His cousin lives in Phuket and is quite well known in his own right.

    Ah, never watched the show. I assumed with a name like top gear they would have something other than Kias to drive around.

    Oh well.

    Sounds possibly like some kind of fluid/oil/gasoline leak from the mid-engined car, spilling down on the rear tires causing Atkinson to loose control, and hitting hot engine parts and starting a small fire, just a guess mind.

    Always thought he was very funny, glad to hear he is unhurt.

    Love this one -
