Quote of the Day

Imagine you own a million dollar sports car and you end up driving it into a salt marsh (apparently that’s a thing). You’d be a little annoyed, probably. Likely very annoyed. Well, the tow truck guy who got the car out perhaps undersold that annoyance just a bit.

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.

“He said he was getting so many calls that he finally stopped answering his phone,” said wrecker driver Gilbert Harrison of MCH Truck and Auto, which is storing the car.

But Harrison said the driver seemed to take his very expensive mistake in stride.

“He was calm,” Harrison told the Chronicle. “If it had been me, I’d have been cussing, but he was calm. I imagine inside he was probably pretty upset.”
