Paul Pelosi, the 86-year-old husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is facing a potential misdemeanor hit-and-run charge following a car collision on Friday afternoon in Yountville, Napa County, California. According to the Napa County Sheriff's Office, Pelosi was driving a brown convertible when he struck a legally parked, unoccupied vehicle, briefly stopped, and then drove away. Deputies located Pelosi and his severely damaged vehicle about a quarter of a mile away after his car became disabled. Pelosi told officers he knew he had hit something but was unsure what it was. Authorities confirmed that the incident did not involve alcohol and resulted in no injuries. While Pelosi was not arrested, the sheriff's office has recommended a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident to the district attorney's office and referred him to the California Department of Motor Vehicles for a standard evaluation of his driving ability. A spokesperson for the Pelosi family stated that Paul Pelosi has personally apologized to the vehicle owner and promised to take responsibility for the damages, adding that Nancy Pelosi will not comment further on this private matter.
01扬特维尔镇的撞车与逃逸事件The Collision and Departure in Yountville
这起事故于周五下午发生在旧金山以北一个多小时车程的纳帕县扬特维尔小镇。当时，86岁的保罗·佩洛西正驾驶着一辆棕色敞篷车。根据纳帕县警长办公室发布的通报，他在行驶过程中撞上了一辆合法停放在路边的无人车辆。事故导致被撞车辆遭受了严重损坏。
The collision occurred on Friday afternoon in Yountville, a small town in Napa County located just over an hour north of San Francisco. At the time, 86-year-old Paul Pelosi was driving his brown convertible. According to a news release from the Napa County Sheriff's Office, Pelosi's vehicle struck an unoccupied, legally parked car on the side of the road, leaving the struck vehicle with major damage.
目击者在现场看到了这起碰撞，并拨打了911报警电话。该目击者向警方表示，肇事车辆在撞上停放的汽车后曾短暂停车，但随后便继续向北驶离现场。目击者还向副警长提供了该嫌疑车辆最后被看见的行驶方向，警方随即展开搜寻。
A witness observed the crash and immediately called 911 to report the incident. The witness informed authorities that after crashing into the parked car, the driver briefly stopped but then drove away, continuing to travel north. The witness also provided responding deputies with the specific direction in which the suspect vehicle was last seen traveling, aiding law enforcement in their immediate search.
02警方现场调查与当事人陈述Police Investigation and Driver's Statement
在接到目击者报警后，纳帕县警长办公室的副警长迅速展开搜寻。不久后，警员在距离事发地点约四分之一英里的附近道路上，发现了一辆加州公路巡警的车辆正停在一辆棕色敞篷车后面。这辆敞篷车当时正部分阻挡着路面，其车头部位已经遭受了严重的损坏，车辆因受损而无法继续行驶。
Following the witness's 911 call, deputies from the Napa County Sheriff's Office initiated a search. Shortly thereafter, they located the suspect vehicle roughly a quarter of a mile away on a nearby road. Deputies observed a California Highway Patrol vehicle parked behind the brown convertible, which was partially blocking the roadway and had sustained severe damage to its front end, rendering it disabled.
警方随即对驾驶员进行了身份确认，证实其为86岁的保罗·佩洛西。在警方的现场调查过程中，保罗·佩洛西向副警长陈述称，他当时知道自己撞到了某种东西，但他表示自己并不确定是什么时候撞上的，也不清楚具体是什么原因导致了他的车辆受损。
Law enforcement officers identified the driver of the damaged convertible as 86-year-old Paul Pelosi. During the subsequent investigation at the scene, Pelosi told deputies that he knew he had hit something, but he stated to the officers that he was not sure when the collision occurred or what had caused the extensive damage to his vehicle.
03轻罪指控建议与车管所驾驶评估Recommended Charges and DMV Referral
纳帕县警长办公室证实，此次碰撞事故未涉及酒精，且由于事发时被撞车辆内无人，事故未造成任何人员受伤。鉴于没有人员在事故中身体受损，警方在现场并未对保罗·佩洛西实施逮捕。不过，警长办公室已向纳帕县地方检察官办公室提交起诉建议，建议起诉保罗·佩洛西涉嫌逃离事故现场的轻罪。最终是否对其提起诉讼，将由地方检察官做出决定。
The Napa County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the collision did not involve alcohol, and because the struck vehicle was unoccupied at the time, no injuries were reported. Given that no one sustained physical injuries in the incident, authorities did not arrest Paul Pelosi at the scene. However, the sheriff's office has recommended a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident to the Napa County District Attorney's Office, which will ultimately decide whether to prosecute the case.
此外，警长办公室已将保罗·佩洛西转介至加州车管所，以启动评估其是否能够继续安全驾驶的程序。相关官员指出，对于高龄驾驶员而言，这种转介进行驾驶能力评估属于警方的常规惯例。现年86岁的保罗·佩洛西将面临这一针对其高龄驾驶能力的官方评估。
In addition, the sheriff's office referred Paul Pelosi to the California Department of Motor Vehicles to initiate a formal process that will determine whether he is fit to continue driving. According to law enforcement officials, such a referral to evaluate driving ability is a standard and common procedure for elderly drivers. The 86-year-old will undergo this routine assessment to review his driving capabilities.
04当事人道歉与家族官方回应Apology and Pelosi Family Response
针对这起在加州纳帕县发生的车祸，佩洛西家族发言人发表了一份官方声明。声明证实，保罗·佩洛西已经亲自向受害车辆的车主进行了道歉。此外，保罗·佩洛西向该车主做出了明确承诺，保证自己会承担因这起碰撞事故给对方车辆造成的全部损失。该发言人通过这份声明向公众传达了当事人愿意承担相应责任的态度。
In response to the collision in Napa County, a spokesperson for the Pelosi family released an official statement addressing the incident. The statement confirmed that Paul Pelosi has personally apologized to the owner of the legally parked vehicle that was struck. Furthermore, he assured the owner that he would take full responsibility for the damage caused to their car, establishing his commitment to resolve the financial impact of the accident.
与此同时，该声明也明确阐明了前美国众议院议长南希·佩洛西对此事的立场。发言人表示，这起车祸属于保罗·佩洛西的个人事务，因此南希·佩洛西不会就此事件发表任何进一步的评论。目前，佩洛西家族正将此案视为私人性质的事件进行处理，并拒绝透露更多关于道歉及赔偿的具体细节。
At the same time, the spokesperson clarified the position of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the situation. The statement noted that Speaker Pelosi will not be commenting further on this private matter. By framing the hit-and-run incident as a personal affair, the family spokesperson indicated that no additional public statements or details concerning the apology and damage coverage would be provided.
