Paul Pelosi, the 86-year-old husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is facing a hit-and-run charge in Napa County, California. The incident occurred on Friday around 2:30 p.m. in the 6700 block of Yount Street in Yountville.
A witness reported seeing a brown convertible headed northbound on Yount Street and hitting a parked vehicle, causing significant damage to its rear. The driver briefly stopped, then drove away.
Deputies later found the convertible, which was partially blocking Yountville Cross Road, and identified Paul Pelosi as the driver. Pelosi’s car had significant damage to the front right, consistent with the damage to the parked vehicle.
Pelosi told investigators he hit something but did not know what he hit, so he kept driving until his car became disabled. He was not arrested, which is common for this type of misdemeanor.
A California DMV re-evaluation referral form is being submitted due to Pelosi’s status as an elderly driver. Pelosi was also tested to determine whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but DUI is not suspected.
