US politician's husband, Paul Pelosi, could face charges after a car accident in California. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, with reports emerging of a vehicle being struck by a car driven by Mr Pelosi. According to eyewitnesses, the vehicle was a parked car and there were no injuries reported. The 82-year-old is the husband of former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The accident took place in the San Francisco suburb of Napa, where the couple own a vineyard.

Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident and are considering whether to charge Mr Pelosi with a crime. Under California law, leaving the scene of an accident can be punishable by up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. It is not clear at this stage whether Mr Pelosi will be charged, but the incident has sparked widespread media attention. The couple's vineyard is reportedly a popular tourist destination in the region.

The accident has raised questions about the couple's use of their vineyard, which has been the subject of controversy in the past. In 2019, the couple was involved in a dispute with their neighbours over the development of the vineyard. The couple eventually sold the property to a new owner, but the incident has sparked fresh concerns about their activities in the area.

The incident is the latest in a series of controversies to surround the Pelosi family. In 2022, Nancy Pelosi's husband was the victim of an assassination attempt at their home in San Francisco. The suspect was later shot by police and is currently facing charges.
