The comedian's severe accident comes only a month and a half after Jackass star Ryan Dunn, with a blood alcohol level of .196, died after crashing his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 in Pennsylvania July 20. For Atkinson, however, officials claim that alcohol wasn't a factor in the incident. Police told CBS News that the Blackadder star was given a routine breathalyzer test at the scene and will face no criminal charges.
