Rudy Giuliani hospitalized after serious New Hampshire car crash

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and prominent political figure, was involved in a serious car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday evening. At the time of the incident, Giuliani was assisting a woman flagged him down, who was a victim of a domestic violence situation. After he helped her contact 911 and remained with her until police arrived, Giuliani proceeded to drive on a highway where his rental vehicle was struck from behind at high speed. The crash occurred just before 10 p.m. on Interstate 93 in Manchester, while New Hampshire State Police were managing the domestic violence report on the southbound side. Reports indicate that Giuliani's vehicle was hit by a Honda driven by a 19-year-old woman, which resulted in both cars being heavily damaged. Giuliani, aged 81, was subsequently transported to a nearby trauma center. Medical assessments confirmed that he suffered multiple injuries, including a fractured thoracic vertebra, various lacerations, and contusions, along with injuries to his left arm and lower leg. Giuliani’s head of security and spokesperson, Michael Ragusa, stated that despite the injuries, Giuliani was in good spirits and recovering well in the hospital. He emphasized that the crash was not a targeted attack, clarifying that it was entirely unrelated to Giuliani's earlier actions of assisting the domestic violence victim. Giuliani’s son, Andrew, expressed gratitude for the support received from the public following the crash, highlighting his father's resilience and strength. The incident arises amid a difficult time for Giuliani, who has faced various legal and reputational challenges in recent years, notably relating to his involvement in the former President Donald Trump's legal battles surrounding the 2020 election. The real-time implications of this incident and Giuliani's health are yet to unfold, with expectations for him to return to routine activities in the coming days as he recovers from this latest ordeal.
