This week’s spectacular crash involving the destruction of a rare million-dollar Ferrari Enzo occurred as the result of a race with a Mercedes SLR McLaren. The car was being driven by handheld game industry mogul Stefan Eriksson, former executive of bankrupt gaming company Gizmondo. Eriksson, who was slightly injured in the crash, told police he was a passenger in the vehicle and that the driver was a German man called Dietrich who had fled the scene. Eriksson had a blood-alcohol level of 0.09, which is above the legal limit. “Dietrich” is still MIA. “He’s still considered as the passenger,” sergeant Philip Brooks said of Eriksson. “We’re continuing our investigation. He’s not in custody.”

Stefan Eriksson was supposedly the passenger, Stefan Eriksson had blood on his mouth from the crash. Oddly enough, only the driverside earbag had blood on it…

Stefan Eriksson is a lier :) , and Gizmondo sucked.

It’s bad enough to crash your Enzo. It’s even worse that the world now knows about it. Earbag?
