NEWPORT BEACH -- A Costa Mesa man has been arrested in connection with a violent Ferrari crash that killed one person and left another injured in Newport Beach.
A Porsche and a red Ferrari were traveling at a high rate of speed along southbound Jamboree Road near Camelback Street just before 1 a.m. Wednesday when the two luxury cars collided, police said.
The Ferrari lost control, hit a curb and crashed into a light pole, which toppled onto the car, crushing the front portion, said Newport Beach Police Lt. Steven Shulman.
The impact of the crash split the vehicle in two and sent debris flying onto the roadside.
Shulman said a Newport Beach Police Department officer was traveling in the opposite direction and witnessed the collision which caused the two vehicles to spin out of control.
The Porsche came to a stop at the scene for a few seconds and then sped away, Newport Beach Lt. Craig Fox said.
Jeffrey Kirby, 51, was taken into custody after officers spotted his Porsche on Bison Avenue just west of Jamboree Road moments later. He and a female passenger were reportedly walking away from the car at the time.
Kirby was being held on $1 million bail while facing gross vehicular manslaughter charges.
Newport Beach resident Lynn Marie Nabozny, 32, was arrested for public intoxication, Fox said. She was released and will not be formally charged, he added.
A man in the Ferrari was declared dead at the scene. His identity is not yet known.
A woman was ejected and was hospitalized in stable condition.
It was initially reported that the deceased man was driving the Ferrari, however, police at the scene said they had not yet made that determination.
Hours after the crash, the front portion of the luxury Italian sports car could be seen resting against a hillside several feet away with its lights still functioning.
The car appeared to be a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, an all-aluminum V12 with a top speed of 205 miles per hour and a price tag of about $300,000.
It's not yet known how fast both drivers were traveling, however, police said it was well above the 50 mph posted speed limit.
Police would not say whether the two vehicles were racing each other at the time of the crash.
All southbound lanes of Jamboree Road were expected to be shut down in the area until at least noon, according to authorities.
