Nancy Pelosi’s husband could face charge after hitting parked car in California

Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is facing potential misdemeanor charges after a car crash in Yountville, California. On Friday, Pelosi struck a legally parked car with his convertible, causing "major" damage, and then drove away. Authorities stated no injuries were reported, and Pelosi did not have alcohol in his system. A witness called 911, and deputies later located Pelosi, who reportedly admitted to hitting something. The Napa County Sheriff's Office referred him to the DMV for a driving assessment. A spokesperson for the Pelosis confirmed Paul Pelosi apologized to the vehicle's owner and will take responsibility for the damage. This incident follows Pelosi's 2022 guilty plea for misdemeanor driving under the influence charges.

Paul Pelosi, 86, was involved in a hit-and-run incident in Yountville, Napa County, on Friday. Authorities state he struck a legally parked car with his convertible, briefly stopped, and then drove away, leaving his vehicle with significant front-end damage. No injuries were reported. A witness alerted authorities, who located Pelosi about a quarter-mile away. He told officers he knew he hit something but was unsure what. Alcohol was not a factor in this collision. The Napa County Sheriff's Department is recommending a misdemeanor charge for fleeing the scene and has referred Pelosi to the DMV for a driving ability assessment, a common process for elderly drivers. Pelosi previously pleaded guilty to DUI charges in 2022.
