ASPEN, Colo., Dec. 26 (UPI) -- British actor Rowan Atkinson was reportedly involved in a fender bender in the parking lot of an Aspen, Colo, ski resort.

Atkinson, who is best-known for playing clumsy Mr. Bean on TV and in films, accidentally backed his four-by-four into a Volkswagen Jetta, the BBC said.

The comic actor was not charged with any crime at the time of the incident, but he and the driver of the other car did exchange insurance details, the Daily Mail said.

Atkinson's representatives in England were not available to comment on the mishap, the BBC said.
