Sheriff deputies said a witness called 911 and said a brown convertible drove north of Yount Street, hitting an unoccupied parked car. That car sustained major rear damage, and the front right tire was forced onto the curb, authorities said.
The witness told authorities where Pelosi went, and a short time later, the California Highway Patrol stopped Pelosi’s car, at Yountville Cross Road, Napa sheriff’s said.
Pelosi’s car had significant damage to the front right side.
Pelosi admitted to Napa County sheriffs to hitting something, but did not know what he had hit, so “he kept driving.”
Napa County authorities said he is no longer driving.
