Mafia-linked exec destroys Ferrari in road traffic accident
A controversial former computer game executive has been
involved in a high
speed road traffic accident which destroyed his $1million
Ferrari Enzo.
Stefan Eriksson, who left the Gizmondo company after allegations
of involvement with the Swedish mafia, was said to be travelling
at over 120mph on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu when
his car slammed into a power cable, slicing the car in two.
Police who attended the scene of the road
traffic accident found that Eriksson's blood alcohol
level was over the legal limit, but he claimed that a German
named 'Dietrich' was driving the car at the time of the
incident. Apparently Dietrich fled the scene but a three
hour search by the LAPD failed to find him.
The Swede has not been arrested and the police are continuing
their enquiries to establish who was driving at the time
of the vehicle
accident. Sergeant Philip Brooks, who attended the scene,
said, "Eriksson had blood on his mouth and both airbags
in the car deployed, but only the driver's side airbag had
blood on it, not the passenger side.
"Maybe the 'driver' had a friend who picked him up. Maybe
he thumbed a ride. Maybe he was a ghost."
Although Eriksson survived with only minor personal injuries,
the Ferrari community is said to be mourning the loss of
a vehicle which many describe as a work of art. Only 400
Enzos have been produced and other Hollywood residents who
own one include Britney Spears and Nicholas Cage.
After hearing news of the road
traffic accident, Chris Banning of the Ferrari Owners
Club told reporters, "He destroyed one of the finest cars
on Earth, maybe the finest.
"It's like taking a Van Gogh painting and burning it."
