Thursday the world saw a Bugatti Veyron being pulled from a saltwater lagoon off the side of a freeway in Texas after a truly heart-wrenching wreck. And, as usual, time has done us the favor of revealing more details on the event.

First, the driver has been revealed to be Andy House, the owner of Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, TX. When asked about the accident he was quoted saying:

I had dropped my phone, people dont know what happened, the arnold story was made up to by the wrecker driver. What it appeared to been was a reflection.

And while that quote was very scatter-brained, it does tell us that the real culprit behind the accident was a dropped cell phone. Not a 252 mph Pelican.

Then some truly awesome person happened to be at the right place at the right time with a camera and caught the entire incident on film! Warning- this video may be super hard to watch for any car lover….oh yea…it swears during the crash:

A huge thanks to Tyson Call for the tip.

    Hey Henery- I got my theme off of http://www.mygreencorner.com but I can’t remember exactly which one it is.

    This template has been very customized, however. My friend adjusted a lot of things on it and I added the “Follow me” buttons and a few other things.

    Hopefully you find something that works and thanks for reading!

    Ya that guy’s a robot. You can probably delete his comments. Not sure why Akismet didn’t catch that…

    In other news, this is the luckiest video I’ve ever seen anyone get, ever ever ever! Holy cow! And I like how they call it a Lambo.

    Hey PS did you check out that driver’s business? They claim to be “The leader in salvage rebuilders.” Fitting…
