Paul Pelosi Faces Hit-and-Run Charge After Alleged Crash Into Parked Vehicle in Napa County

Jul 5, 2026·2 min read

Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is facing a hit-and-run charge after authorities say he struck an unoccupied parked vehicle in Napa County on Friday before leaving the scene.

According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, a witness in Yountville called 911 at approximately 2:30 p.m. after reportedly seeing a man driving a convertible collide with a parked car.

Investigators said the witness reported that the driver briefly stopped following the collision before driving away. Deputies later located the disabled convertible a short distance from the crash site, where it was blocking a roadway. Authorities identified the driver through his license as 86-year-old Paul Pelosi.

According to the sheriff’s office, Pelosi told investigators he realized he had struck something but was unsure what it was and continued driving.

“He drove the car until his car became disabled and was no longer to continue driving,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Authorities said a preliminary alcohol screening found no evidence that Pelosi had consumed alcohol.

The sheriff’s office said Pelosi was not taken into custody.

Investigators said the case will be forwarded to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office for review and possible prosecution.

“A California DMV re-evaluation referral form will be submitted to DMV, which is common for elderly drivers,” the sheriff’s office said.

Attorney information for Paul Pelosi was not immediately available, and neither he nor former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had publicly commented on the incident as of Saturday.

The incident comes nearly four years after Paul Pelosi survived a violent attack inside the Pelosis’ San Francisco home. In October 2022, an intruder broke into the residence while he was asleep, striking him multiple times with a hammer and leaving him with a fractured skull that required surgery.

The attacker, David Wayne DePape, was convicted in federal court in 2023 on assault and attempted kidnapping charges and received a 30-year prison sentence.

A year later, DePape was also convicted on five state charges and sentenced to life in prison.
