‘Mr Bean’ was in his 240mph McLaren F1 sports car driving to his Northamptonshire home when he span off the road on the A605 near Haddon, Cambs., at 7.30pm on Thursday.
The comedian crashed into a tree and a road sign but managed to escape the vehicle relatively unscathed.
Atkinson remained at Peterborough City Hospital with a ”painful” shoulder injury but was expected to be released later in the day.
The famous McLaren F1 was removed from the crash scene by a local recovery company and taken back to Atkinson’s home.
It was the second time Atkinson had crashed the powerful vehicle, having ploughed into the back of a Rover Metro in Lancashire in 1999.
Agent Peter Bennett-Jones revealed Atkinson was driving home after working on his latest film Johnny English Reborn, in which he plays a clumsy English spy.
