Eriksson was charged Friday with misdemeanor hit and run and driving without a California license and insurance, Los Angeles city prosecutors said.

Diamond said Eriksson did not own the Cayenne, but he would not say how authorities linked it to him. Investigators seized a manual for that Porsche model during a recent search of Eriksson's home, court records show.

David Elden, an attorney for Eriksson, said the hit-and-run charges were minor compared to the charges that the District Attorney's Office filed in connection with the red Enzo and other exotic cars.

Last week, Superior Court Judge Charles Palmer ordered Eriksson to trial on embezzlement and grand theft auto charges relating to the Feb. 21 Ferrari crash and for possessing two other luxury cars authorities claim he stole from British banks that held the titles.

His attorneys say Eriksson did not steal the cars and was negotiating a financial settlement with the banks before he was arrested last month. He is being held on $3 million bail.
