JOHNNY ENGLISH - ATKINSON IN CAR CRASH DRAMA

JOHNNY ENGLISH star ROWAN ATKINSON crashed his car at high speed yesterday (04MAY03) - at a ASTON MARTIN owners track race.

The funnyman's V8 ZAGATO hurtled off the track at Mallory Park in Leicestershire, England at 161 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour) - but managed to escape the high speed incident unscathed.

An onlooker says, "He had been doing really well. But he spun off and was trying to rejoin the race when he was hit by another car."
