Pete Davidson charged with reckless driving after crashing into a house

Peter Davidson has been charged with reckless driving after driving his car into a Beverly Hills home in March, Us weekly can confirm.

The Saturday Night Live alum, 29, was charged with one count of reckless driving three months after the accident. His arraignment is scheduled for July 27.

“We believe Mr. Davidson was guilty of reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious hit-and-run against a residence. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision,” the Los Angeles district attorney said Us in a statement on Friday, June 16. “We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences. In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles will reach their highest level in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. It is therefore critical that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”

Earlier this year, Davidson was driving in the Flats neighborhood of Beverly Hills with his girlfriend, Pursue Sui Wonderswhen he lost control of the vehicle, according to TMZ, who was the first to report the news. Davidson’s car reportedly jumped the curb and smashed a fire hydrant before crashing into the side of a nearby house, leaving skid marks on the owner’s lawn. The police arrived on the scene and launched an investigation. At the time, Davidson was not arrested and authorities did not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident.

“The structure of the house has been badly damaged,” the owner of the house said exclusively Us weekly at the time of the crash, adding that Davidson’s Mercedes was a total loss. “It was very dramatic.”

The owner of the property further said that only his 16-year-old daughter was home at the time of the incident, which occurred around 11:30 p.m. Us, noting that no one — including Davidson and Wonders, 27 — was “physically injured” from the crash. “The most important thing to me is that they are okay,” continued the owner. “We don’t think it’s safe [to be in the house].”

At the time of the accident, the couple did not tell the homeowner – or his daughter – what caused the crash. The owner noted that his daughter was “in shock” and didn’t ask Davidson or Wonders many questions. “They gave their manager’s phone number and said the manager would take care of it,” he explained Usadding that a car came to pick up Davidson and Wonders after the incident.

Davidson and Wonders – who met on the set of the 2022 movie Bodies Bodies Bodies – their whirlwind romance began after attending a hockey game with their co-costar Rachel Sennott in December 2022. At the time, Davidson was still romantically linked to Emily Ratajkowski. However, Us confirmed that the duo called it quits after two months of dating.

Following his divorce from Ratajkowski, 31, Wonders and Davidson were spotted on a string of dates, including lunch in New York City and a romantic vacation to Hawaii.

A source told this exclusively in June Us that Davidson “couldn’t be happier” with Wonders. “Things are going well,” the insider said, noting that “things are getting pretty serious between them.”
