    The funniest part about that article was that the owner left the motor running when he got out of the car. Nothing like a little hydrolock to add insult to injury.

    There's a thread in the lounge with more info: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...hed-drink.html

    Apparently he was distracted by a pelican and dropped his cell phone, and he crashed when he was fumbling around when trying to retrieve it. Classic IDIOT.

    I found this on the owners website. Mabey he did it on purpose to collect, rebuild it and sell it.

    Almost looks on purpose to me. I guess some of us will just drive back on the road or at least attempt to. Pelican my *ss? Anybody else see a pelican?

    Did everyone forget about the dropped cell phone? Or did the story change? The original story was he dropped the phone when he encountered the pelican, and then crashed while he was trying to retrieve it. So that could explain the "no pelican" in the video.

    According to fox news, the pelican was actually a passenger in the seat beside him.
