The Gizmondo Enzo crash keeps reaching new levels of strange. A couple weeks back, former company exec Stefan Eriksson's $1 million, non-street legal Ferrari slammed into pole doing 162 mph on the Pacific Coast Highway.
Eriksson walked away from the crash with only a bloody lip, claiming he wasn't the driver. A German man named Dietrich, he said, was behind the wheel. The only blood found in the car however was on the driver's side airbag. There was a Glock ammo cartridge found near the crash that is somehow connected. Moreover, Reports that the Enzo was drag racing an Mercedes SLR are now doubted. A few minutes after the crash, two men arrived at the scene and flashed badges. They claimed to be from "homeland security." The police let these two men into the scene, where they spoke to Eriksson and then left. The LAPD would now like to question these two unidentified men.
Eriksson now is telling the LAPD that he was deputy commissioner of the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority's police anti-terrorism unit. Apparently, the former Gizmondo exec helped the group with camera technology for the paratransit vehicles. The website for this nonprofit organization lists its address as 148 E. Lemon Ave, which is actually an auto repair shop.
Confused? Welcome to the club. For a moment, I thought gag-newspaper The Onion had hacked the LA Times and posted this article. With a story as wack as this, it's hard to believe that the press is reporting the facts (and they definitely are). Too bad that Gizmondo wasn't this interesting.
