The TV and film actor was taken to Peterborough General Hospital after his McLaren F1 car left the road in Haddon, Cambridgeshire, reports the Daily Mirror.
The Mr Bean and Johnny English star injured his shoulder in the incident, with one onlooker telling the newspaper he 'cheated death', commenting:Rowan is lucky to be alive considering the state of the car.
It's believed his car smashed into a tree then a lamppost before catching fire. Atkinson managed to scramble from the wreckage and was being cared for by another motorist when paramedics arrived.
