Captured on Video: Bugatti Veyron crashes into Lake
Stories of a poor $1.6 Million-worth Bugatti Veyron in Texas driven straight into a saltwater lagoon has spread across the world. According to the Galveston Daily News, the driver blames it on a low flying pelican:
Andy Lee House, 34, owner of Performance Auto Sales, told The Daily News on Wednesday that a low-flying pelican distracted him, causing him to jerk the steering wheel a bit — and he then dropped his cell phone.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case according to this firsthand account and video captured by someone who happened to be at the right place at the right time:
According to the witness:
Lucky drive down 45 when I shot this video.
This car is 1 in 15 in the US. 1 in 200 ever made. Was worth $1-2 million. I’ll still take it.On Wednesday the 11th November, myself and a friend were driving down I45 on our way to SAMS and I saw what I thought was a Lamborghini on the frontage. It looked pretty amazing so I pulled out my Iphone and started recording it. We had to decelerate to about 45 to 50 MPH just to not get to far ahead. within the 20 seconds or so into the recoding the vehicle veered off the frontage into a shallow salt water marsh on exit 4 just off Galveston Island. My friend picked up his cell immediately and called 911. We tried to turn around and aid but the underpass prevented us from getting to him. We were making another attempt to go around and try and reach him when we saw police cruisers, fire-trucks, and ambulance on their way to assist him. We hoped the Gent was alright and went on to Sams
Could the driver have thought he was in a different car? Perhaps he thought he brought the Rinspeed SQuba submersible car instead of the Veyron:
Either way, this is one of the most unusual exotic car crashes of all time.
