Actor Rowan Atkinson walked away unhurt from a crash at a race this past weekend after his car left the track and collided with a barrier. Car enthusiast Atkinson, best known as television's Blackadder, crashed an Aston Martin V8 Zagato at Croft Racing Circuit on the County Durham/North Yorkshire border, England. A spokesman for Atkinson's agents says, "He races quite a lot and he is absolutely fine." The race - the seventh of the meeting - had to be restarted after Atkinson was checked by a doctor and his battered red sports car was recovered from the track. He then left the circuit, where he last raced two years ago. Steve Cooper, financial director of Croft, adds, "It was a racing incident and he was shaken up but was not injured. I believe his brakes had failed or did not work and he went off the track and hit a barrier." »
