Million-Dollar Ferrari Crashes in Malibu

From the L.A. Times:

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.

Yea...it crashed near Decker canyon on PCH. If I knew about this earlier I would have gone before school to see if I could check it out...Decker canyon is Westlake Blvd. and Westlake Blvd. is the street I live off of. Pretty crazy incident...Supposedly from what I have heard the guy has 2 enzos though. Another one I believe he bought used off some guy...not completely sure...

EDIT: just caught this from the article...

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

Makes me laugh to think about how fast I have gone on PCH... :ohyeah:

Expect safety? I'm sorry, but going 120 mph, you are more likely to die than not regardless of whatever safety systems a car has. Der-dee-der!

Where in 'bu did this happen I wonder? Out by Leo Carrillo, closer to the pier or in the congested area by Moonshadows? It must have been out by the former. I don't understand some people. I am so risk-averse...just look at the old-lady car I drive.

Wow, more money than brains! :rolleyes:

I've opened it up a couple times late at night :AH-HA_wink:

TCB: Decker (about where he crashed) is in between Kanan and, well, camarillo I guess...If you are going north driving past Zuma, it is kinda after Zuma...

what is the big deal...this is just another typical SoCal rush hour fender bender..

LOL.

I'd like to send the driver a thank you card- one less of those automotive Frankenstiens on the road does us all a favor.
