In the drink! Looks like he picked a nice spot to drop in, almost like a boat ramp...lol

Pelican? I'd have to side with the insurance company. He would have been better off saying he fell asleep driving a Bugatti.

Drove it straight in - no bird - no swerve - no stomp on the brakes... nothing. All planned out in advance would be my guess. Even choose the right spot.

Can you drive one of those in prison?

This reminds me of a story. I heard a guy got sick of making his boat payment and decided to sink it out at Lake Mead. He drove it out to the middle of nowhere and whipped out his 45 and you can guess the rest. Things were going well until the park service pulled up the satelite video footage and caught him playing John Wayne. You can't get away with much these days.

I have to agree that this guy is most likely screwed. The video makes it pretty obvious that he drove into the lake.


Just think about the shear coincidence behind some random person videoing this Veyron. It boggles my mind.

I don't know what this world is coming to when a dam guy can't run a simple scam without having somebody spoil it for you
