Million-Dollar Ferrari Crashes in Malibu

From a Times Staff Writer

3:21 PM PST, February 21, 2006

A driver lost control of a Ferrari sports car traveling 120 mph along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu this morning, slamming into a power pole that cut the car — which sells for up to $1 million — in half, according to authorities.

One man suffered minor injuries. He was identified as Stefan Erikssen, of Bel-Air, said Sgt. Philip Brooks of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The sports car went airborne and struck a power pole 5 to 10 feet off the ground, Brooks said. The car was demolished, but two air bags deployed.

"You pay a million bucks for a car, you expect safety," Brooks said.

Investigators said they believe the driver was alone in the car and was engaged in a street race at the time of the accident. Erikssen told them the driver of the car fled on foot, but a search turned up no one, Brooks said.

The crash took place about 6:15 a.m. near Decker Canyon Road, an exclusive area of multimillion-dollar estates overlooking the Pacific in west Malibu, near Leo Carrillo State Beach.

The car — reportedly a Ferrari Enzo worth between $600,000 and $1 million — has a top speed of more than 200 mph.

Traffic on PCH was disrupted this morning during the investigation of the incident.

Brooks said the area is not known for street racing.

"We get some speed violations, but nothing over 70 mph," Brooks said.

I almost rear ended a Ferrari Testarossa in San Francisco, June of 2000.

I stopped INCHES from the bumper. The entire time I was skidding toward that machine, all I could think of was scuicide. My insurance would have paid for the bumper, and maybe the gas cap.

I sold my soul that day.....

The one guy that owns the sucker was sitting on the ground. He says he wasn't driving (nice alcohol blood level) and that the driver ran... Yes officer, this is reasonable, that realllly what happened.
