In perfect symmetry with a story from earlier this year when a 1920s Bugatti was lifted from the depths of an Italian lake. It's happened again, only this time in Galveston USA, and it was pulled it out a little sooner this time.
From the Galveston Daily News:
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 travelled 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 manoeuvre away from the lagoon.
The Veyron's powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.
Just how stupid would that make you feel...
NEWS FLASH....amazingly someone just happened to be filming it when it crashed, see if you can spot the pelican (and I'm not quite sure why they thought it was a' Lambo'!).
