On July 3, 2026, 86-year-old Paul Pelosi struck a legally parked Tesla in Yountville, Napa County, while driving a brown 2025 Maserati GranCabrio convertible. The collision caused major damage to both vehicles. Witnesses reported that Pelosi briefly left the scene before returning; deputies later located his disabled vehicle approximately 400 to 500 meters away. Pelosi reportedly told officers he knew he had hit something but was unsure what it was, adding that he had intended to return to the scene.

Napa County deputies recorded a zero blood-alcohol level. On July 17, the Napa County District Attorney filed a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge and an infraction for an unsafe turn. The misdemeanor carries a potential penalty of up to six months in county jail and a $1,000 fine. The District Attorney’s Office noted it made an exception to its typical policy of not issuing news releases for misdemeanor property damage cases due to the “significant public interest in the matter.”

On August 14, 2026, Pelosi failed to appear for his first scheduled court date in Napa County Superior Court. His attorney, Amanda Bevins, appeared on his behalf and entered a not guilty plea. This incident follows Pelosi’s 2022 misdemeanor DUI conviction and a 2022 hammer attack on his San Francisco home.
