$2 million Bugatti crashes into lagoon

Published November 12, 2009

LA MARQUE â€" The owner of one of the world’s fastest production automobiles accidentally drove his fine-tuned, French-built car into a saltwater lagoon Wednesday.

The man, who police said was from Lufkin, was uninjured after escaping the partially submerged Bugatti Veyron as it came to rest in about 2 feet of saltwater.

The two-seater, with 16 cylinders and four turbo chargers, can reach speeds of more than 250 mph. New models sell for about $2 million.

The man, who refused to give his name, was looking at real estate in Galveston.

About 3 p.m. a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay.

The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car’s front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon.

The Veyron’s powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.

Cool, new and improved salt water injection!!
Good idea to let it run for 15 minutes before turning it off. Jeeesh

Yeah... WTF - he left it running... WAAAAY more money than brains there.

If you ever wonder what might be brushing against your leg when you swim in the murky Galveston water, you can add "Bugatti Veyron" to the list of possibilities.  That's kind of awesome.

Not to mention he was talking on his cellphone....

FAIL

Veyron & Lufkin -- two words I'd never have expected to see in the same sentence...

my old jetta once floated across the parking lot when I lived in phoenix. it was joined by a grand am and a dumpster.

drained and re-filled the trans, vacuumed a little water out of the back seat and replaced the 02 sensor good as new. 

Nothing Tom Cruise hasn't done before. 










But yes, Idiot.

Can you say insurance fraud?

I bet the insurance company has peeps who can.  Just sayin',
