Man Drives Bugatti Veyron Into Lake

The owner of the most expensive car in the world has been forced to write off his $1m Bugatti Veyron after crashing into a lagoon.

He told police he had dropped his mobile phone as he sped alongside the lagoon while taking his newly delivered car out for a test drive.

When he looked up from picking up the phone he was startled by a low flying pelican which cause him to swerve off the road.

House escaped unhurt from the wreckage but could do nothing to stop his car - one of only 15 in the US - from submerging in the water up to its door handles
