===========================================================

A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering 
his million-dollar
sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston.
The accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday on the frontage road of 
Interstate 45
northbound in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.
The Lufkin, Texas, man told of driving his luxury, French-built Bugatti 
Veyron when the bird
distracted him, said La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist.
The motorist dropped his cell phone, reached to pick it up and veered off 
the road and into the salt marsh.
 The car was half-submerged in the brine about 20 feet from the road when 
police arrived.
