Authorities are trying to determine why a 1993 Ferrari Testarossa crashed and overturned this afternoon near Agoura Hills, killing two people.
CHP Officer Leland Tang says there weren't any witnesses and the details aren't known.
The crash occurred shortly after 3:20 Tuesday afternoon on Cornell Road, near Muholland Drive.
Evidence at the scene indicated that one of the men killed in the crash may have been an off-duty CHP officer, sheriff's Lt. Phil Brooks told the Los Angeles Times.
Lt. Richard Hanna of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner said early this morning that there was a "security hold" on the case and the names or ages of the two men would not be immediately released.
Actress Morgan Brittany of "Dallas" heard the crash.
"I heard it coming. I heard the engine revving high,” Brittany said. "I just braced myself" and hoped there was no one coming the other way.
The victims' identities have not been released.

A man who authorities said may have been an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer and a second man who has not been identified were killed Tuesday in a rollover accident involving a Ferrari, the second high-profile Ferrari crash this year in Los Angeles County.
A "security hold."? Now that sounds intresting. You had a crash, seems to me once the members of the family of the deceased are notified we should have the names of those involved even though there may be an ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash?
Last words, "Let's see what this baby is really made of!"............
off duty or undercover
2006, year of the Ferrari
Shot in the dark. Driving too fast?
Something tells me he was going a significant multiple of the posted speed limit. You can see the shattered phone/power pole in the foreground of the first picture--and it still carried enough momentum to fly up into the fencing. That car had to be really flying.

Gee, I wonder if speed was a factor???
I'm gonna guess speed and testosterone were involved!
Cool.
Going too fast?
We saw a Ferarri on the way home from Anchorage a couple of weeks ago. He was doing the speed limit, and all the traffic around him slowed down to get a better look. One word: GORGEOUS!!!
Duh.
Probably those Firestone tires at fault.
In the top picture to the left of the girl on the phone is a bush. It was its fault.
Spooky.
Is that Ann Coulter on a cell phone in the bkgnd of the first pic?
Bet they are going to spend a fortune doing an accident reconstruction analysis only to determine the driver was going too fast.
