Paul Pelosi, the husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run in California. Multiple outlets report that the charge follows a vehicle crash on July 3 in Napa County, in the Napa Valley area near Yountville, where Pelosi’s car is alleged to have struck a parked vehicle. Sources describe the struck car as parked along the roadway/shoulder and unoccupied, and that Pelosi allegedly left the scene after the collision. The New York Times reports the parked vehicle is a Tesla, while other reports describe it more generally as a parked car.
NBC News, Los Angeles Times and other outlets also note Pelosi previously pleaded guilty in 2022 to driving under the influence in a separate car crash. The current coverage focuses on the misdemeanor hit-and-run charge, the location and timing of the alleged incident, and that prosecutors allege he hit the parked vehicle and did not remain at the scene. The outlets do not provide further details on sentencing or trial dates in the material provided.
