The cellphone this guy was using was probably more expensive than some of our cars. Too bad it didn't have bluetooth.

What an A-hole! He should be forced to get the car restored and give it to me.

Oh the humanity!!!!

Can anyone else spell insurance scam??? People with money troubles will burn a Renior, so why not crash a Bugatti? At my job we are seeing a lot more cars getting totaled by people who are starting to have trouble with the payments - car fires are up over 300% in the Orlando area.

Wether the guy WAS grabbing his phone or needed the car to be gone ..... he should be slapped for doing that to such an amazing vehicle!!

I never looked at it from that angle, but there's a good chance that's the case. Water does make for a soft landing. The windows were already down, too... maybe he was prepared for a "water escape"

Because I'm sure that once the car got flooded, Bugatti electronics wouldn't function. Hell the ones on our Chryslers are nitpicky as it is... LOL

Good thing it wasn't at Chappaquiddick! Was Simon Cowell involved in any way?

Insurance paying off his off the chart car expense was my first thought too. basically the Texan version of "I have no clue how my car ended up crashed officer, i was just driving along and this deer jumped right out in front of me, and I must have blacked out because I have no idea why this happened 4 hours ago before you got the call." That's ythe MN and WI version of DUI or getting rid of a car-the deer are always present in these circumstances.

If he's "smart" enough to do that... I'm guessing he's picking up that live power line with his foot, the one he just hit going into the lake. ... Just a guess?

Money and brains don't always go hand in hand!

I believe that is the tow truck driver picking up the winch cable with his foot.

I don't see a pelican in this video.....

Deer - in just this past week.

1 forest green F150 directly in front of me now needs a new front grill.
1 Dodge Ram 1500 about a half a mile in front of me needs an entire new left front fender.
1 fresh blood mark on the roads to work every single morning since last Wed.
17 deer in front of car somewhere on the way home since this Monday.
42 deer counted alongside the same roads since Monday.

Trust me MD, this would be the perfect time to scam an insurance company.

Anyways, what the heck is anyone jabbering away on a cell phone for while driving a million dollar car!? Ay caramba!!
