Driver who crashed $1m Bugatti supercar into lagoon faces trial

Quote:
A driver who swerved a million-dollar supercar into a Texas swamp will have to convince a jury that he didn't purposely end up in the water in order to claim on an insurance policy which would have doubled his money.

Gilbert Harrison of MCH Truck and Auto, who was called out to tow the vehicle at the time, said Mr House 'took the loss in his stride'.
Following the incident, the insurance company Philadelphia Indemnity sued Mr House for fraud.
The company claimed that the car dealer borrowed $1 million from a friend to buy the car and then bought insurance on it as a collector's vehicle, which valued it at more than $2 million.

The insurance firm then alleged that Mr House drove it into the saltwater lagoon to collect the huge payout.
The driver said that he swerved off the road to avoid hitting a pelican, but the insurance company have argued that there was no pelican to be seen in the video.

Hopefully the insurance company wins the case and that guy is never able to own a supercar ever again.

Good for him, F insurance companies. Most of us will pay 2k a year for 60 years totaling 120k and never see a dime in insurance money! Insurance is the biggest scam and whether or not this guy or guys like him will cause our rates to go up is a crap argument. I Cs will charge us as much as they want bc they can! Explain to me how can i move insurance companies and lower my rates by 75%?? BOGUS!! Get EM GILBERT!
