Pete Davidson Says He Was Going 140 MPH Before 2023 Beverly Hills Crash

His on-stage account highlights a focus on sobriety over recklessness.

Overview

  • At a one-night show in Las Vegas on Saturday, Davidson told the crowd he drove about 140 mph in a 20 mph zone before the March 2023 crash.
  • He said another driver also ran a stop sign, which led him to swerve to avoid a likely fatal impact with that car.
  • Describing a split-second choice, he said he aimed for a house instead of a tree and crashed through a residential garage.
  • He recalled getting stuck against the garage doors, briefly fearing arrest as if for a break-in, then feeling calm after realizing he was sober.
  • People reported he later entered an 18-month diversion program with 50 hours of community service following the incident.
