Larry Abbott said.
The owner's name was withheld, Abbott said.
The 1998 Ferrari 355 F-1 was severely damaged and may be unsalvageable. Neither Burghardt nor his co-worker, whose name was withheld, were injured. It was unclear whether they remained employed at the Ritz Carlton.
The Ferrari, which can accelerate to 60 mph in five seconds, has a top speed of 183 mph. Enthusiasts say the car, with its racing-style gear shift, can be difficult for an inexperienced motorist to drive.

Investigators did not arrest Burghardt, but they referred the case to the district attorney's office for review.
