Pete Davidson Officially Charged With Reckless Driving 3 Months After Crashing Car Into Beverly Hills Home

Pete Davidson has been officially charged with reckless driving. Three whole months after he and his girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders crashed Davidson's car into a Beverly Hills Home, the L.A. County District Attorney's Office filed a charge of one count of reckless driving against the Saturday Night Live alum, according to reports obtained by TMZ.

Davidson had reportedly crashed his stunning Mercedes car while driving alongside his beloved. He was speeding through the neighborhood and suddenly lost control of the car in the process, crashing into a home. There were no serious injuries to the resident of the house he crashed into nor to his person or girlfriend in the event of the crash.

The said event took place approximately at 11:00 PM on March 4, and because of the loss of control, the car went off the curb and rammed into a fire hydrant before it crashed into a home. According to reports from the local authorities involved in the case, there was no use of foul play such as drugs or any other form of substance influence or abuse that could've been a contributing factor in the incident. This whole ordeal ended with Davidson not being arrested or charged at the time. 

While there were recorded injuries, there was property damage in the locality. A source revealed that the 16-year-old daughter of the person whose house Davidson's car crashed into was traumatized due to the event. She was reportedly bewildered with how much of a close call the crash had been. However, the homeowner has no hard feelings against the Suicide Squad 2 actor and doesn't seem to have an intention to file a serious lawsuit against him either.

While Davidson's representatives have not issued an official statement in light of recent events, the DA's office in the locality explained the severity of the situation. The statement released emphasized that traffic accidents are serious and shouldn't be taken lightly; it also pointed out how easily Davidson's case could have become serious if things had gone further. The statement says that while there were no deaths in this case, off late, the death toll due to reckless driving has been increasing.

The authorities want to strongly nip things in the bud as soon as possible and want to avoid such incidents in the future by discouraging such behavior from anyone including a celebrity. The statement released read, "In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels recorded in 20 years. This is an alarming trend we cannot ignore. As a result, it is crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable" The statement further elaborated on the possible charge that Davidson may face. These include a suspension of driver's license, a fine of $1000, or in a worst-case scenario, an even sentence to spend 90 days in federal prison.
