Man Distracted by Bird Drives Bugatti Into Marsh

LA MARQUE, Texas – A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston. The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of Interstate 45 northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.

The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti Veyron when the bird distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist. The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off the road and into the salt marsh. The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when police arrived.

Gilchrist said he doesn't know if the car was salvageable, but in his words, "Salt water isn't good for anything." He says the man, whose identity hasn't been released, was not injured.

A 2006 Bugatti Veyron was recently offered for sale in Jonesboro, Ark., for $1.25 million.

I read this story this morning at work and i laughed out loud.....i grew up in Lufkin.....i probally know the guy :rll:

Anyone who drives a 1.25-mill car and doesn't have enough sense to at least slow down while looking for someting on the floor deserves such a fate. The vid of the event doesn't show any damn pelican. He was probably texting, but doesn't want to admit it.

is it ironic that he runs a company that repairs high end cars ?

And whats the chance of having a high quality video from a car pacing it on the highway ?

I bet it becomes an ad for his company
