High-end sports car takes a swim (w/video)

This may be hard to explain to the insurance company. From the Associated Press:

A man blamed is blaming 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 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.

I can't put the video here, but follow the above link to see it.

I could almost cry

wow that sucks hard balls ass fuck titty cock shit.

Thanks a million, Gilgamesh!

Wow, that really sucks.

wat a freakin idiot...if he doesnt want to take care of the car ill take it...like are u serious, this is one of my fav cars and he dumped it in da water..RETARD!!

What?! Does he even know what car he has?! That man should be put in jail and never be allowed to buy a car again!

I bet that he never gets cars insurance again. It will be sky high... Mind you then again he can afford a Buggati Veyron, so money's no object.

Why was he on the phone while driving? Twat.

At least it was only a veyron, and not a good car, like a Ferrari.
