Charges of reckless driving were levied against Pete Davidson, the former luminary of “Saturday Night Live,” by prosecutors in Los Angeles.
This legal action comes three months subsequent to the incident where Davidson, an accomplished actor and writer, was involved in a collision that resulted in the unfortunate crashing into a residence nestled within the affluent enclave of Beverly Hills.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, while filing a single misdemeanor count of reckless driving against Davidson, chose not to disclose intricate particulars pertaining to the episode that occurred on March 4 in Beverly Hills.
As the legal process unfolds, further information regarding this incident will likely emerge, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding this regrettable collision.
“We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home,” the DA’s office wrote. “Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision.”

Davidson’s arraignment is set for July 27. His representatives and Beverly Hills police did not immediately return requests for comment.
Prosecutors used the high-profile case to highlight the “devastating consequences” of reckless driving.
“In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years,” the office wrote in its statement. “This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”
Davidson’s latest show, “Bupkis,” debuted on Peacock last month.
