There was a story behind the Bugatti crash.

Wait, it wasn't a low-flying pelican? You don't say.
Andy House was driving along a highway in Galveston, Texas on November 12, 2009 when, for some reason, he drove his car into some water, destroying the million-dollar exotic car. At the time the man claimed to reporters, and to us, that this was because of the reflection of a low-flying pelican he saw after dropping his cellphone.
"I had dropped my phone, people dont know what happened," House told us adding "What it appeared to been was a reflection."
Unbeknownst to House, the accident was filmed by passerby Joe Garza. The video didn't seem to show a low-flying pelican.
"it's unusual that you have video of a car crash" said Attorney David Miller, who is representing the insurance company. "It's wonderful that a jury will be able to actually look at the sequence of events"
The car was later towed away and eventually resold, which was the last we'd heard about it.
