Davidson's wild day ends with car crash
Pete Davidson had a jam-packed Saturday that's a little hard to make sense of, and not just because it ended with him crashing a Mercedes into the side of a house in Beverly Hills.
It's also because Davidson's day began on a beach of Kauai, where he and his new girlfriend Chase Sui-Wonders were photographed by paparazzi, lounging with friends, TMZ first reported.
Even though it usually takes about five hours to fly from Hawaii to Los Angeles, not including travel to and from the respective airports, Davidson managed to make it in time to present at the 36th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in downtown Los Angeles, which ran from 4 to 6 p.m. (or 2 to 4 p.m. Hawaiian time), TMZ also reported.
Maybe Davidson and Sui-Wonders got a very early start on the beach on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Five hours after the Kids Choice Awards were scheduled to end, Davidson, 29, and Sui-Wonders, 26, were riding in a Mercedes in the Flats neighborhood of Beverly Hills.
Davidson was driving at a high rate of speed at about 11 p.m. when the car lost control, jumped a curb, hit a fire hydrant and skidded across the front lawn of a house before slamming into one of its corners, TMZ and other outlets reported. Photos and video of the accident show that the siding of the house was broken and pushed inward, while water was shooting up out the broken fire hydrant.
Davidson and Wonders walked away unharmed, and no one inside the house was hurt, TMZ reported. The comedian was not arrested or cited, according to Beverly Hills police. It also does not immediately appear that drugs and alcohol were involved, though an investigation is underway, TMZ also said. It's also not clear if Davidson and Sui-Wonders had any interaction with the homeowner.
“It's pretty wild that Pete and Chase were back in L.A. in such a short turnaround,” TMZ said.
A source told Page Six last week that the couple are “getting serious.” “They've been friends a long time,” the source said, “and this romance grew out of friendship.”
