An exotic car salvage yard owner who became famous for crashing a Bugatti Veyron hypercar into a lake has been jailed for a year and a day after pleading guilty to insurance fraud.

Andy House claimed that his crash was caused after avoiding a 'low-flying pelican', causing him to steer into the water to avoid the bird. Prior to this, he had claimed that he lost control of the vehicle after reaching for his mobile phone.
