Rudy Giuliani Injured in Car Crash After Assisting Domestic Violence Victim in New Hampshire

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor, sustained serious injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday night, as confirmed by his spokesperson, Michael Ragusa. The crash occurred after Giuliani, aged 81, had assisted a woman in distress due to a domestic violence incident. Upon being flagged down, Giuliani called the police and remained on the scene until assistance arrived. Later, while continuing his journey on the highway, his rental vehicle was struck from behind at high speed.

Giuliani's injuries include a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg. He was transported to a local trauma center for treatment. His spokesperson emphasized that the crash was not a targeted attack, urging the public to respect Giuliani’s privacy during his recovery.

Despite the severity of the situation, Giuliani is reportedly in good spirits and is recovering well, according to Ragusa. He is conscious, alert, and eager to resume his usual activities within a few days. Giuliani's medical care is being overseen by his business partner, Maria Ryan, who is also a nurse practitioner. Further tests and stabilization efforts are underway to aid his recovery.

Andrew Giuliani, Rudy's son, expressed gratitude for the support received from well-wishers and described his father as the "toughest SOB" he knows. Known for leading New York City through the challenging years of the 9/11 attacks, Giuliani later gained national attention as an advisor to President Donald Trump. His career has faced significant challenges recently, including disbarment and financial penalties related to legal judgments.

Ragusa reassured that Giuliani's medical team is pleased with his progress, and he is expected to be discharged soon, although he will need to wear a brace for his fractured vertebrae. Giuliani and his family have asked for continued prayers, support, and privacy as he focuses on recovery. As events develop, further updates will be provided on Giuliani's condition and recovery process.
