Stupid driver, quite obviously. But what a testiment to the structural integrity of the Enzo itself that after such a catastrophic crash, the big injury was a cut lip. Guess there's some real engineering depth to these Ferraris above their incredible performance.

How the heck did he crash that at 120? That road looks straight as an arrow.

I've driven drunk while evading the cops and going 140 on crappy tires in an SN-95 and I got home safely. He's an even bigger idiot than I was, plus he messed up a million dollar car!

Person that said that he's was passenger in Enzo was actually driver. His name is Stefan Eriksson, he's from Sweden, he's the guy who inveted Gizmondo video games.

Article in the LA Times yesterday said police estimate the speed was more like 160.
Car hit a rise/bump in the road and went airborn.

These must be the hardest cars in the world to control or everyone who owns them are total idiots because this is about the fifth time I've seen this type of accident.

Yes, I've also seen several articles about wrecked Enzo's. It's not the car's fault. I accept yout idea about the owner's being complete idiots. Having bags of money doesn'r mean you know how to drive. And remember this wasn't on a track but on a public road. Imbecile!

No, don't be sorry, there was a serius twist to the case. Click the links below to see what happened after he crashed the Enzo.

Jury deliberations start in Eriksson case (Nov 2)

Eriksson case ends in mistrial!

What wasn't listed in this article, and I forget if it was posted above, but once he was found to be the driver of the Enzo, they also found out that he had an SLR that was illegal to be here. Police impounded that car, and they arrested him. From the article tied to the second link, the DA's office will go after him again, with same charges plus more.

Great, thanks Geoff. Funny how a car getting smashed up leads to multiple felony charges!

Yup, go figure. I wondered what ever happened to his impounded SLR? I mean, to let you know how little this guy's elevator didn't go to the top floor, he was driving this car, AND the SLR around Hollywood and such using European license plates! You know, the long ones. And he thought he wouldn't get caught with them on his car? Come on.

I heard this guy's property got seized, not like he obtained it honestly in the first place anyway. Scum like this needs to be put away for a long time.

the SLR has probably been returned to the British bank that lent him for money for it.

I'm completely shocked you'd actually post this.

I will say nothing more.
