'Mr. Bean' actor crashes his McLaren F1

British actor Rowan Atkinson, best recognized as "Mr. Bean," crashed his McLaren F1 supercar on Thursday just north of London.

Reports say Atkinson was driving his F1--one of the world's fastest road cars--about 85 miles outside London when the incident occurred. The car, worth about $1 million, hit a tree and a lamppost before catching on fire.

The 56-year-old comedian was taken to a hospital, where he received treatment for a shoulder injury. He was expected to be discharged on Friday.
