Recently crashed Ferrari with pics

According to news reports, former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson has been involved in a high-profile accident in Los Angeles which destroyed his $1 million Ferrari Enzo sports car, following a crash at more than 120 miles per hour during an alleged street race.

Eriksson, who resigned from Gizmondo last October following controversy over Gizmondo's financial performance and significant financial perks to company directors, is claiming that he was merely a passenger in the vehicle.


The 2003 Ferrari Enzo was racing a Mercedes-Benz SLR when it crashed into a light pole on the Pacific Coast Highway, shearing the car in two. A 'German man called Dietrich', the supposed driver, according to Eriksson, allegedly fled the scene. A significant police search failed to find 'Dietrich', and no arrests have yet been made.

The Los Angeles Times reported Sheriff's Sgt. Philip Brooks as noting that Eriksson "...had a .09 blood-alcohol level, but if he's a passenger, that's OK. But he had a bloody lip, and only the air bag on the driver's side had blood on it. The passenger-side air bag did not.

+1. the driverside air bag has blood and the guy claiming as passanger also have blood on his lips....definately a liar. Also passanger side airbag is clean no blood so that tells me that he is lying.
