House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was seriously injured in a drunk driving collision.
On 7 August 2017, the disreputable web site OurLandOfTheFree.com posted a story falsely reporting that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was involved in a serious car accident with a city bus in Los Angeles: < Democrat Senator Nancy Pelosi was involved in a car crash yesterday in her home state of California after a town hall event where she once again accused Donald Trump of â€œcolluding with Russia.â€ According to the West Los Angeles Police Department, wine was served at the event and Pelosiâ€¦well, sheâ€™s Nancy Pelosi so she drank a ridiculous amount of it. Sgt. Bruce Bahner says that Pelosiâ€™s driver was sick so she decided to drive herself back to her 3.8 million dollar mansion, but with a blood alcohol content of 1.3 she didnâ€™t get very far before she randomly accelerated, went off the road, and slammed into the side of a city bus. Pelosi was not wearing a seatbelt and flew through the windshield, slamming her head into the side of the bus. She is currently in intensive care at St. Myrtleâ€™s Regional Hospital. > We have confirmed with her press office that Pelosi, a Democratic representative from San Francisco, was not involved in a car or bus accident as of 11 August 2017. The fake news item also names a fictional police department (there is no West Los Angeles Police Department â€” West L.A. is a part of the city of Los Angeles, and it is serviced by the LAPD). For cautionâ€™s sake, we checked with both LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriffâ€™s Department, which contracts with many of the smaller incorporated cities and unincorporated county areas in the region. Neither agency employs a sergeant by the name of Bruce Bahner. The story also falsely claims Pelosiâ€™s relatives told cable network MSNBC that sheâ€™s â€œslipping in and out of consciousness.â€ There is no MSNBC report to this effect, or any other.Â We can confirm that the claims made in this article are false and promulgated by a dubious site â€” Pelosi has not been involved in a serious car accident with a city bus.
