Man Drives his Bugatti Veyron (1.25+ mil vehicle) into Marsh

[phillian]

This is what you'd call a bad day.

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 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.

I wish they'd release the name- a little celebrity schadenfreude never hurt anyone.

IF it were, I'd have no sympathy for who ever stupid enough to hand their keys over to that man.
