Totalled Enzo in So Cal

The Article




Originally Posted by Ferrari Crashes, Closes Part Of P.C.H.
MALIBU, Calif. A section of Pacific Coast Highway was closed Tuesday after a single-vehicle car crash, officials said.

Paramedics were sent to P.C.H. at Decker Road at 6:15 a.m., Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Ron Haralson said.

By 8:35 a.m., one lane was reopened in each direction, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos.

The vehicle, a Ferrari -- reportedly worth between $600,000 and $1 million -- was badly damaged. One person suffered a minor injury and was treated at the scene.

"We have the passenger, who told us the driver did flee from the scene," Sheriff's Sgt. Philip Brooks said. "And we ... followed some footprints up the side of the hill in an effort to locate the driver."

A three-hour foot and helicopter search failed to find driver.

Authorities believe the Ferrari, which broke in half, "was traveling at least 100 mph and it will probably be a lot more than that once we conclude our investigation," Brooks said.

“For a million dollars, you get a very good passenger-safety system, and apparently in this case it did work," he added.

Some electrical service in the area was interrupted because the car struck a power pole.
Video says it could have been traveling close to 200mph, I doubt it if you see where it was. Although it did rip in half, so possibly. Still crazy, and the driver fled the scene. lol.

it would be really funny if what the reporter said was true. "the guy who claims to be the passenger could possibly be the driver" he would have to be an idiot to come up with that story unless he stole the car.

Has any one seen the video of the guy in the c4 vette who crashes at like 150mph and all that's left of the car was the seat with the driver in it, he tried to flee the scene too but was quickly subdued by the chp.

I can't understand why the driver would flee. If I could afford an Enzo I'd be like "yeah I'm the owner, any other questions you have refer them to my big money lawyer who is on retainer and on his way here right now". And then if my case went to court I'd bribe the judge or something.
