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've been trying to tell people that bird watching and driving at the same time is worse than texting and driving but no one will listen.

Another example of a man who has too much money and not a lot of brains, at least when it comes to driving.

You'd think the car has bluetooth..........

Driving this car requires concentration and not being distracted by a bird and a cellphone.

This guy is a moron and I hope he doesn't buy another one.

Man that sucks! I wonder how much the repair bill would be.. It seams like it would take ALOT to total that car.

Repair or not, that car will never has the value it had before.

I'm not sure if they are like the Enzo (only 399 built and only 380 something left) but if it's a limited production car, this guy is f*****.

I would be really curious if the car has bluetooth, if it doesn't, it's a freaking joke.

"All of a sudden the bird came outta nowhere and my first reaction was to release the cell phone and get away from that bird!!" "Almost as fast as my reaction to avoid the bird I dove for my cell and inadvertantly took the steering wheel with me." "This car cost me a million bucks and it should be able to stay on the road no matter what!" "Next thing I know I'm in a salty brine up to my neck and the pelican is long gone."

that car is awesome.. i dont care what people say about it.
Runs a 10.1 stock. The car defintely does have bluetooth, maybe the guy didnt set it up.

As far as the guy getting another one, he can pay the 500 dollar deductible and get a new motor no problem. Not sure how bugatti is going to feel about him.
