He was driving his convertible when he struck a parked car, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >causing significant damage<\/a>, then left the scene briefly before being found nearby. No injuries were reported, and preliminary tests confirmed he was not under the influence of alcohol. Pelosi acknowledged hitting somthing but was unsure of the specifics. Authorities are recommending misdemeanor property damage charges, and he will undergo a DMV reevaluation, especially considering his age. This is his second recent incident; in 2022, he was arrested for DUI after crashing his Porsche and spent two days in jail. He later apologized to the vehicle owner involved in the latest incident. Pelosi\u2019s family has chosen not to comment further on the matter.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/witch-hunt-mueller-prosecutor-says-trump-could-face-charges-after-pardons\/\" title=\"WITCH HUNT: Mueller Prosecutor Says Trump Could Face Charges After Pardons\">face charges<\/a> after a hit-and-run accident Friday, reports say.<\/p>\n<p>The accident marks the second time the husband of the former Democratic Party leader in the House has been in an accident in the space of four years.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 incident ended with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/paul-pelosi-hired-private-investigator-make-demands-cops-dui-arrest-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a DUI plea<\/a> from Pelosi, but police this time said that no alcohol was involved.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2026\/07\/04\/politics\/paul-pelosi-hit-and-run\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a>, Pelosi was driving his car in Yountville, a town in Napa Valley, when the accident occurred \u2014 roughly 10 miles south of the Pelosi family\u2019s vineyard in St. Helena, California.<\/p>\n<p>The AP said that \u201che struck a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kathy-hochul-kicked-out-of-nypd-officers-wake-report\/\" title=\"Kathy Hochul ...ly asked to leave NYPD officer&#039;s wake\">legally parked car<\/a> on the side of the road, briefly stopped and then drove away, the Napa County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a news release Saturday.

When the sheriff\u2019s deputies arrived, they noticed what the AP described as \u201csevere damage\u201d to the front of Pelosi\u2019s convertible; although Pelosi acknowledged that he had hit something, he said he was unsure about when or where the damage had occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Given Paul Pelosi\u2019s record, a DUI may have looked like a distinct possibility. Preliminary tests showed a blood alcohol reading of 0.00, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDriving Under the Influence was ruled out,\u201d police said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The AP initially reported that he might face charges.
