Concord, New Hampshire — Rudy Giuliani is currently recovering from multiple injuries, including a fractured vertebra, following a car accident over the weekend. The former mayor of New York City was a passenger in a rented vehicle when it was struck by another car late Saturday night, according to a spokesperson.

Giuliani was traveling in a rented Ford Bronco driven by his spokesperson, Ted Goodman, when a Honda HR-V, operated by a 19-year-old woman, collided with them from behind. New Hampshire State Police reported that officers witnessed the incident, which caused both vehicles to careen into the highway median, resulting in significant damage.

Both Giuliani and Goodman, along with the driver of the Honda, sustained injuries that were deemed non-life-threatening and were subsequently transported to local hospitals for treatment. State police confirmed they are looking into the crash but have not filed any charges at this time.

At age 81, Giuliani was admitted to a trauma center where he is being treated for a fractured thoracic vertebra, numerous lacerations, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg. His head of security, Michael Ragusa, shared an update, noting that Giuliani is recovering well and remains in good spirits despite the situation. Ragusa emphasized that the crash was not a targeted attack.

Before the accident, Giuliani was assisting a woman involved in a domestic violence incident and had flagged down police for help. After authorities arrived, he resumed his journey, just moments before his vehicle was impacted. Ragusa stated that the crash was “entirely unrelated” to the earlier domestic violence call.

In a statement, New Hampshire state troopers clarified that they were investigating a domestic violence report on the southbound lanes of Interstate 93 just before 10 p.m. when they witnessed the collision occur in the northbound lanes. Emergency responders quickly crossed over to assist those involved.

While authorities declined to comment on whether Giuliani had reported the domestic incident prior to the crash, there has been no response from Goodman regarding additional inquiries. Meanwhile, Giuliani’s son, Andrew, expressed gratitude for the support they have received through social media, highlighting the importance of prayers for his father during this difficult time.

This accident comes amid a challenging period for Giuliani, once celebrated as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in 2001. More recently, he served as a personal attorney for former President Donald Trump and became a prominent figure in the controversial claims of election fraud following the 2020 presidential election. His allegations were largely dismissed in various court cases, contributing to legal troubles that ultimately led to a significant defamation judgment against him by two former Georgia election workers.

As Giuliani navigates his recovery, focus remains on both his health and ongoing legal challenges, which have become increasingly complex and public in nature.
