Crash Overview
On July 3, a brown convertible driven by Paul Pelosi collided with a legally parked car on a roadside in Yountville, according to a statement the Napa County Sheriff's Office issued at the time. The driver reportedly stopped briefly and then drove away.
Pelosi pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge under California law, which requires drivers in crashes involving property damage to stop and provide their vehicle and license information. He also pleaded no contest to an infraction for making an unlawful turn, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The sentence includes one year of summary probation, which is unsupervised and does not require reporting to a probation officer, a six-month driving prohibition and a 10-day work program. Pelosi also paid about $11,200 in restitution to the owner of the damaged car, plus court fines and fees. A spokesperson for the Pelosi family told KRON-TV in July that he had apologized to the owner and said he would take responsibility for the damage.
