Story summary

Paul Pelosi, 86, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was banned from driving for six months and ordered to complete a 10-day work program after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge in Napa County Superior Court on November 3, 2026. The incident occurred on July 3 when Pelosi's brown convertible collided with an unoccupied parked Tesla in Yountville, California, and he fled the scene without exchanging information or reporting the crash as required by law. Pelosi was also cited for making an unlawful turn. He paid $11,191.14 in restitution to the vehicle’s owner and was ordered to pay court fines and fees as part of his plea agreement. This is Pelosi's second legal issue related to driving: he previously served a DUI conviction four years ago.
