Rudy Giuliani in Car Crash in New Hampshire, Suffering Injuries
Rudy Giuliani, 81, is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries after a car crash on a New Hampshire highway Saturday evening.
According to a statement from Michael Ragusa, Giuliani's head of security, his vehicle was struck from behind while he was traveling. Giuliani sustained a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg. He was transported to a nearby trauma center for treatment.
Ragusa clarified that Giuliani's vehicle was hit shortly after he assisted a woman involved in a domestic violence incident. The crash was deemed unrelated to that incident.
Giuliani was in a rental car, and Ragusa noted that the driver was unaware of Giuliani's identity at the time.
In a statement on social media, Andrew Giuliani expressed gratitude for the support received following the incident. No further details about the crash or the earlier domestic violence incident have been disclosed as New Hampshire State Police have not commented on the ongoing investigation.
This incident follows a series of challenges for Giuliani, who was previously a prominent figure following the September 11 attacks and served as former President Trump's personal attorney. His legal troubles include a defamation judgment related to false election fraud claims, which resulted in him facing contempt of court proceedings.
