Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was involved in a hit-and-run incident in California on Saturday that damaged a parked vehicle, according to authorities.
Law enforcement confirmed the collision left the parked car with substantial damage. Details about the specific location, timing, and circumstances remain limited from the initial report. No information has been provided regarding injuries or the extent of damage to Pelosi's vehicle.
This incident comes roughly two years after Paul Pelosi was attacked at the couple's San Francisco home in October 2022. A man broke into their residence and assaulted Pelosi with a hammer, seriously injuring him. The attack sparked national attention and reignited debate over political violence and home security for high-profile figures.
The current hit-and-run case falls under California's vehicle code provisions, which require drivers involved in accidents to stop, provide contact information, and report damage to property owners or law enforcement. Authorities have not indicated whether Paul Pelosi remained at the scene or left before police arrived.
The Pelosi family has maintained a lower public profile since Nancy Pelosi stepped down as House Democratic leader following the 2022 midterm elections. She remained in Congress representing California's 11th District until January 2023, when she retired from the House.
The California Highway Patrol or local law enforcement agencies will likely continue investigating the hit-and-run. The case could carry civil and potentially criminal implications depending on the damage assessment and whether Pelosi fully complied with accident reporting requirements.
