The "Saturday Night Live" alum pleaded not guilty on July 19 and was given judicial diversion, Fox News Digital can confirm. The 18-month diversion program includes 50 hours of community service and 12 hours of traffic school, both of which can be completed in New York.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office noted that Davidson's counsel had indicated the comedian would likely complete the community service with the New York Fire Department – where his late father worked before he was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"As the son of a 9/11 hero, we would be happy to provide Mr. Davidson an opportunity to do his required community service," the New York Fire Department told People magazine in a statement.
Davidson’s reps did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The car crash happened around 11 p.m. on March 4, near the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Elevado Avenue. Fox News Digital confirmed the comedian was traveling with a female passenger at the time of the crash. It was speculated to be Davidson's rumored girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders.

"We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences," the DA's statement said after Davidson was charged in June. "In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it's crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable."
