What a Fool

[First Strike]

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.

Yeah this made the front page of MSN.com today. At least they didnt publish his name... not that anyone even remotely close to him doesnt know it already. What a waste of a fine automobile.

Sounds like a great way to get the insurance company to pay off the note.

Here is a video of the actual crash. Hard to believe somebody was actually videoing.

Did you know Kelsey Grammer had a Viper and wrecked it?

Here is a video of the actual crash. Hard to believe somebody was actually videoing.

I've watched the video 3 times and I don't see a low-flying pelican or anything else crossing his path. It looks like he just drove off the road.

The commentary from the dudes taping it is hilarious:

Passenger: "That will be mine one day."
Driver: "What is it?"
Passenger: "Pretty sure that's a Lambo, dude."
(Veyron crashes)
Passenger: "OH ****!!!"
Driver: "OH ****!!!"

Oh yea, that low flying Pelican will get the ex-owner of the car a possible insurance fraud charge instead a cool 1 Million dollars. LOL.

Hmmmmm......10 Vipers or one Veyron........

He probably finally hit the gas pedal all the way and couldn't handle it...wannabe
