Wow. Not likely to get a replacement either since they are all sold. Salt water won't be good. He will now have a $2 million Bugatti by the time they tear everything apart and rebuild it. I hope that cell phone call was important!

WOW!!! How stupid would I feel if I did this in my car, let alone something like that. Serious cry in your beer time.

I can't believe there's a YT vid of the incident, but there is. ***NSFW warning (language)***

One of the DFW TV stations said the accident was caused by the driver being distracted by a bird.

Here's a video of the Veyron in a little better condition.

The whole event is starting to get a little too coincidental since the video cameraman just "happened" to be in place......Ben

Saw no bird at all when I slowed the video down in Sony Vegas.
