Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized after a serious car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday night, with his spokesperson confirming multiple injuries including a fractured thoracic vertebra. The crash occurred when his rental car was "struck from behind at high speed," according to Michael Ragusa, Giuliani's head of security. Giuliani, 81, also suffered lacerations and contusions to his left arm and lower leg, prompting immediate medical attention at a nearby trauma center. Reports indicate that he is expected to remain hospitalized for two to three days and is required to wear a brace for his injury, according to CBS News, Los Angeles Times, and Newsweek.
Prior to the accident, Giuliani had rendered assistance to a woman flagged down as a victim of domestic violence. Ragusa emphasized that after assisting the woman and contacting police, Giuliani's vehicle was hit by another car shortly after he resumed traveling on the highway. This crash was deemed "random and unrelated" to the domestic incident, as noted in multiple reports from Al Jazeera, HuffPost, and India Times.
Giuliani's spokesperson has confirmed that he is in good spirits, despite the injuries, and is eager to return to work soon. In the past, Giuliani has faced various legal challenges and controversies, including accusations stemming from his involvement with President Donald Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election results. Following the crash, his son, Andrew Giuliani, publicly thanked those expressing support for his father on social media, as reported by BBC and South China Morning Post.
