Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, 86, was charged in a hit-and-run car crash in Napa County in California.
Paul Pelosi, 86, the husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is under investigation for allegedly being involved in a hit-and-run crash in Yountville, according to the Napa County sheriff’s office.
Authorities said Pelosi was driving a brown convertible when he crashed into an unoccupied parked car in Yountville at about 2;30 p.m. Friday. The parked car sustained major rear-end damage.
A witness told deputies the driver who caused the crash briefly stopped and then drove away. Deputies soon saw a CHP patrol vehicle parked behind a brown convertible that was partially blocking the roadway on Yountville Cross Road.
Deputies said Pelosi was behind the wheel of the convertible. There was significant damage to the right front part of his car.
“Pelosi admitted to hitting something, but said he did not now what he had hit, so he kept driving,” the sheriff’s office said. “He drove until his car became disabled and was no longer able to continue driving.”
