The Bugatti ended up in 2 feet of water, allowing the uninjured driver to walk ashore, the Galveston County Daily News reported. Advertisement The man, a Lufkin resident who said he had been on a trip to inspect real estate in Galveston, did not want to be identified. He said he was distracted by a pelican flying low as he drove north on Interstate 45, causing him to swerve into the lagoon near Omega Bay. A tow-truck operator carefully pulled the Bugatti out of the lagoon. The two-seat Veyron, equipped with 16 cylinders and four turbochargers, has a top speed of more than 250 mph. New models of the car retail for about $2 million.
