It amazes me that someone actually has this on tape, unbelievable...

 

I don't buy that pic at all. Watching the video full screen I just don't see the "bird" at all, just roadside stuff.

My guess is he was looking for his cell that he said that he had dropped. So he most likely had his left hand on the wheel while reaching over for his cell with his right and accidently jerked the wheel to the right and the rest is history...

Bugatti driver said he has shared exotic cars with children, others

The Lufkin man who accidentally drove his million-dollar car into a lagoon on Wednesday spoke out about the wreck on an online message board Friday.

 

Andy House, 34, was driving his 2006 Bugatti Veyron EB along an Interstate 45 feeder in La Marque around 3 p.m. Wednesday when he swerved and lost control of the car, distracted by a low-flying pelican, according to a police report. House told a Galveston County Daily reporter at the scene that after jerking the wheel he dropped his cell phone, contributing to his distraction.

 

The crash was captured on video by a man traveling north on I-45. No pelican was visible in the video, which shows the car veering from the road and splashing into the lagoon.

 

House was in Galveston County to look at real estate when the accident occurred, according to La Marque police.

 

He has not commented on the accident but on Friday afternoon confirmed that he had left the following comments on The Lufkin Daily News' commenting section, after several people posted derogatory comments about the situation.

 

"Thanks to everyone who has been more worried about my well-being than the car's condition," House wrote. "I have taken my exotic cars to school events, rallies, and allow anyone to take pictures of my cars and even ride in them. I have allowed many people into my home to see my cars that I don't even know. ... Say what you want about me, but there is a man in heaven right now looking over me and that's all that matters!"

 

The wrecker driver who towed House's car gave a report saying House told him during a phone conversation that he had gotten several phone calls since the accident happened, including one from California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 

House sent an e-mail Friday to the Lufkin Daily News, saying he thought the whole thing had gotten out of hand and that he did not receive a call from Schwarzenegger.

 

The Bugatti Veyron, which tops out at 253 mph, is believed to be one of only 15 in the United States.

 

He purchased the French-made sports car, carrying a $1.25 million price tag, from a Jonesboro, Ark., dealer last month, according to previous reports.

 

Last week House brought the car by Air Cooled Engines in Lufkin to show store employees — a usual occurrence whenever he got something new, according to 20-year employee Alan Arrowood. Arrowood said he's sad to hear the negative things that have been said about House, calling him a "nice guy."

 

"He brought that Bugatti by here last week and we all got to sit in it and look at it — a once-in-a-lifetime deal," Arrowood said. "He's a really nice guy. Last year he brought by a Ford GT to show us. That was a nice car."

 

The car was insured through Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance, according to the La Marque Police report. An insurance sales agent with the Grundy Agency, the company that underwrites for Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance, said that it would cost around $8,000 yearly to insure a 2006 Bugatti Veyron. "There's no coverage limit but typically the vehicle would be insured for the value," Grundy Agency sales agent Lauren Gindele said. "Also, policies are paid yearly and not monthly."

 

The National Automobile Dealers Association set average retail value for a 2006 Bugatti Veyron at $900,000.

 

Another sports car could be seen under a cover Friday in the garage of House's home in the Bald Hill community. The home appraised for $147,000 this year, according to Angelina County Appraisal District records.

poor car..

Pelicans are BIG. Even a small one just standing around is 2 feet tall (half as tall as the Bugatti). If it were flying you would definitely see it -- they have like 7-10 foot wing spans. I don't see anything that big in the video.

Not to question someones priorities, but I hope they forgot a zero or something.

Assuming it's not a purely accidental typo. I'd add further, that it's a sign that media hounds do troll the internet feverently and are now reduced to reporting

'what the public already think'. More so now than ever. In this case

with a slight suggestion of impropriatry/finnancial diffuculties so

we might consider this act as deliberate.

 

Personally, as I've stated, I don't think the accident is. I wonder what the motive

of the sheriff was to mention the cause of the accident. However, more pressing

to me, is whether anyone would have cared too much, if the car had been

some lesser model (maybe even actually a lambo?).

 

For clarity, I'm saying it might be the case the sheriff thinks it's an accident,

wants to help a person out by closing the book on a single person accident,

and now trolls and sicophants (such as myself.....) are feeding an engine.

 

Lastly, I've known far too many individuals who have rented, leased or bought expensive

cars (Porsche, Ferrari etc) and only ever rented a home. Especially hard for me to understand

is when they've bought the car.

Read the comments on the article on the newspaper's website. If this is true then that house value is likely correct...

Andy is a very nice young man and I am just glad that he didnt get hurt.Andy doesnt have the money to own these kind of cars he has a good investor Lloyd Gillespie who just so happens to love all kind of cars and is 66 years old and funds the vechicles for Andy to repair and to resell.He is just very good at repairing and working on these high end cars,I am glad that he has such a great talent and the ability to do what he does in fixing these type cars.His investor has enough money to burn 50 wet mules with 100 dollar bills all week long and enough money to purchase 100 bugattis.

Wow...Must be nice

So if he repairs them and resells them why did he have this one? Most of the veyron wrecks have been very public and ALL OVER the net.

Well it wasn't wrecked when he bought it, so he created his own accident!

 

No idea, but there are a lot of things that don't make any sense with this whole thing.

In theory if insurance declares it a loss they will pay him for the car. Once he is paid they will sell the car off and he could buy it back and try to fix it . Since he has a salvage business he could TRY to fix it then TRY to resell it again and then try to make money off it in the long run but I think it would be too expensive to fix. Then again I have no clue this is only a thought.

post wipeout pictures

realized mine was just a respost of the last page

For me a the day after the incident was a nightmare -- as so many random people called me and bombarded me with emails either to 'inform' me of this bugatti accident, or thinking it was my car. Wishful thinking on many peoples' part for sure.

On Fox News

 

 

 

I guess he was looking for some wet mules in that lake.

 

I thought she was a car expert . I think she says there are 15 Veyrons in the USA there are 15 or more in California alone lol

 

Also she mentiones Chris "Asshole" Brown as an owner and I think in a past topic

it was decided that he was infact renting one when he was in Florida...

 

As for the car going 100mph at the time of the crash--lol

more pictures of the veyron since its crash. the pictures are on a very not safe for work site
