NEW YORK—Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, faces a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge after a vehicle that he was driving struck a parked car in California, the Napa County Sheriff's Office said on Saturday.

According to a statement from the Sheriff's Office, the collision on Friday afternoon in Yountville caused major damage to a vehicle legally parked on the shoulder of the road.

Deputies later determined that Pelosi drove the vehicle that caused the collision. He said he hit something but did not know what he had hit, so kept driving until his car became disabled and was no longer able to continue.

No alcohol was detected when Pelosi was tested.

Pelosi was not arrested, which is common for this type of offense.
