(CNN) — Actor and comedian Pete Davidson has been charged with reckless driving in connection with a car accident in Beverly Hills earlier this year, CNN has learned.
Greg Risling, deputy chief of media relations for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, said Davidson was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving. His appearance is scheduled for July 27.
“We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision at a home,” Rislong said. “Fortunately, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision. We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences.”
The March 4 incident occurred around 11 p.m. PT, when a vehicle Davidson was driving on a residential street crashed into a fire hydrant and a home.
CNN has reached out to Davidson’s representatives for comment.
“In 2022, traffic deaths in Los Angeles reached the highest levels seen in 20 years,” Risling also reported Friday. “This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it is crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”
