Enzo Crash Driver Stefan Eriksson Arrested

Filed under: Wheels

Well, it certainly took long enough but Stefan Eriksson, the former Gizmondo chief who spectacularly smashed a Ferrari Enzo on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, has been arrested on suspicion of grand theft. Eriksson was arrested at his Bel-Air home on Saturday but it's not clear whether or not they thing he stole the Ferrari. He is being held without bail. As we mentioned earlier, last month  police impounded a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren driven by Eriksson's wife. I guess this means what we suspected all along, that the shadowy figure of "Dietrich" that Eriksson said was driving the car didn't really exist.

Stefan Eriksson Loses Another Car

Filed under: Wheels

The story of the epic Enzo crash on Pacific Coast Highway just gets more and more interesting. The latest episode involves the wife of Stefan Eriksson, the former Gizmondo boss who took the Ferrari for its ill-fated spin. The LA Times says that Nicole Persson was stopped by Beverly Hills police along Wilshire Blvd. driving Eriksson's Mercedes SLR McLaren. The car had British plates but no tags and Persson did not have a valid driver's license. The car was impounded. As we mentioned earlier, it seems that both the Ferrari and the McLaren may belong to a bank in Scotland and Eriksson shipped the cars to the U.S. to avoid surrendering them. The picture here was taken by 13-year-old Spyder Dobrofsky who was on the scene at the time of the traffic stop.
