Texas man blames bird for making him drive his $1m sports car into marsh A Texas driver blamed a pelican for making him drive his million-dollar Bugatti Veyron sports car into a pond. Published: 12:41AM GMT 14 Nov 2009 [video=youtube;32yyvmlGOdo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32yyvmlGOdo"[/video] Police said the low-flying bird distracted the man, causing him to veer off a road and drive the 250mph French-built supercar into a salt marsh. Lt. Greg Gilchrist, of the La Marque police, said the man claimed he lost concentration while driving his on Wednesday because the bird swooped into his line of vision. Lt Gilchrist said the driver dropped his phone, reached down to pick it up and strayed into the brackish water in La Marque, about 35 miles south-east of Houston. Lt Gilchrist did not know whether the car could be salvaged, but said "salt water isn't good for anything". However, footage of the crash posted on YouTube shows no evidence of a bird peing involved. He said the man, whose identity has not been released, was not injured in the accident. Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...g-him-drive-his-1m-sports-car-into-marsh.html
