Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is suspected of a hit-and-run incident in Yountville, Northern California. On Friday afternoon, he allegedly collided with a parked car on Yount Street, causing significant rear damage, before driving away. Witnesses reported that the driver briefly stopped but then left the scene in a brown convertible. Authorities later found the vehicle, partially blocking a road, with damage to its front right side. Paul Pelosi, 86, admitted to hitting something but claimed he was unaware of what it was and continued driving until his car became disabled. Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, and he was not arrested due to misdemeanor laws. The case has been forwarded to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office, and a DMV re-evaluation for elderly drivers will be submitted. This incident follows a violent break-in at the Pelosis’ San Francisco home in 2022.
