Driver Crashes Ferrari Enzo On PCH
MALIBU, Calif. -- A speeding Ferrari whose driver may have been racing crashed Tuesday on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, prompting the closure of the roadway and an investigation to determine who was behind the wheel, officials said.

Paramedics sent to PCH at Decker Road about 6:15 a.m. treated one person at at the scene for a minor injury, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Ron Haralson.
That man, whose name was not immediately released, told authorities he was the owner of the Ferrari Enzo, but claimed that he was the passenger and that the driver ran off after the crash.
"The fact (is) that the passenger is the registered owner of the vehicle, from the Beverly Hills-Bel Air area. The passenger had blood on his mouth and both airbags on the car deployed, but only the driver's side airbag had blood on it, not the passenger side," said Sgt. Phillip Brooks.
As of late Tuesday morning, there had been no arrests in the case, according to the watch commander at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station.
The Ferrari Enzo, a limited-edition vehicle worth between $600,000 and $1 million, has a published top speed of 225 mph.
"We have the passenger, who told us the driver did flee from the scene," Brooks said. "And we... followed some footprints up the side of the hill in an effort to locate the driver."
Authorities believe the Ferrari "was traveling at least 100 mph and it will probably be a lot more than that once we conclude our investigation," Brooks said.
Authorities said the driver of the Ferrari might have been racing a motorist in a Mercedes Benz.
The impact sheared the Ferrari in half, with the entire front section separated from the rest of the vehicle.
"For a million dollars, you get a very good passenger-safety system, and apparently in this case it did work," Brooks said.
Some electrical service was interrupted in the area after a power pole was struck by the car. At least one lane of PCH remained closed late Tuesday morning while crews worked to replace the damaged pole.

There's lots of high HP cars roaming around L.A. I think that the Enzo driver just lost control. Probably hit an uneven surface or slight bump. That'll do it at high speed. That's why I used to scout all of the roads and freeways before any high speed runs so that I was VERY familiar with the surfaces. I never "raced" on unfamiliar roads. That would bring the Reaper.

If you watch WilFred's video clip, it looks like the Enzo only hit a light pole, no cars.. ouch

For what that car is worth new?

They would probably rebuild it even if the only thing they salvaged was a wheel....

The media is hyperventilating that it was "probably over 200mph!!!". I bet it was some where around 130-150, if that.

Man that sucks. Given his environement was safe you almost cant blame the guy for testing his car. Its almost like buying a Hummer and not putting if offroad. Sure they are both great vehicles without ever testing them, but the whole fun is in their capabilities. At the same time one must know HIS capabilites and surroundings as im sure the car was quite capable but he was not up to the challenge or the road was unfit.

With all the media, I imagine hes going to have a hard time talking his insurance company into covering this one....600,000-1,000,000 down the drain sure does hurt(most peoples pocket book and any discerning individuals mind). So DRTY when are you getting your exotic?

Thats gotta suck. What a nice car..and completely ruined :-(

We can diss him and stuff, but I gotta give him a thumbs up. People never drive their supercars, they never drive their expensive exotic cars. He actually took it out.
