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.

Witness says driver took off after hitting parked car What they're saying:

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."

No DUI suspected

What they're saying: Pelosi was not under the influence of alcohol, and he was not arrested pending a review of the case by Napa County prosecutors, authorities said.

A re-evaluation referral form will be submitted to the DMV, which is common for elderly drivers.

In 2022, Pelosi was arrested for DUI after he crashed his Porsche into a Jeep on Highway 29 in Oakville, according to the CHP's Napa office. He pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation.

No problem. Some are more equal than others

They don’t have a driver?

Aren’t these two immortals worth about $200 mil?

Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) demonstrates a significantly lower collision rate than human drivers, with safety metrics improving over time. According to Tesla’s February 2026 safety report, FSD (Supervised) experiences one major collision every 5.3 million miles, which is approximately 9 times safer than the US national average of one crash every 660,000 miles.

RE: What they’re saying: Pelosi was not under the influence of alcohol...

“I had so much ecstasy, fentanyl and cocaine coursing through my body I couldn’t keep hold of the booze so I gave up and got into the car and drove.”

“I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .’ And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas... I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.”
——Hunter S. Thompson.

Imagine the dismay of the CHP officer when he saw the last name on that drivers license. Visions of the unemployment line and loss of pension flashing before his eyes.

The two ghouls have enough money and wealth, known and hidden to last them close to immortality.

“Pelosi admitted to hitting something, but said he did not know 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.” That’s the only way to drive right, hit things and not know what they were.

Paul Pelosi is and idiot. He has the money to have a chauffeur and limo equipped with a vast array of liquor, wine, and ladies if he is still able.

Pull your head out of your ass Paul. Call Bill Clinton and he will give you pointers and advice. As mentioned, pull your head out. You are an embarrassment to perversion.

Again?? This is a hit and run. In 2022, Pelosi was arrested for DUI after he crashed his Porsche into a Jeep on Highway 29 in Oakville. This time he hit a parked car. Police found him later, his car partially blocking a roadway. He claims he knew he hit something, but couldn’t tell what it was. Sounds like his license should be taken away permanently.

Even when Paul Pelosi isn’t drunk he’s getting hammered.

He is 86. He probably doesn’t process or see as well as he used to. I am glad the car was unoccupied. The running part was stupid. It is likely time for him to turn in his keys.

In 2022 he was sentenced to three years probation for a DUI Collision.

Probably just got his license back.

When Pelosi was 16, he was driving and crashed, killing his older brother David. According to police, David’s last words were, “this is a bad stretch- better slow down!”

“I hope they drop the hammer on him!”

I’d be astonished if they did anything at all. It’s not a two-level justice system. There are probably fifteen levels. People like him are as immune from prosecution as a medieval king.
