Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was injured in a car accident in New Hampshire over the weekend but is recovering, his head of security and the New Hampshire State Police said Sunday.
Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind at “high speed” on Saturday evening, Michael Ragusa Giuliani’s head of security, announced in a statement on X. Giuliani, who is also President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, was transported to a nearby trauma center, Ragusa noted, “where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.”
Shortly before the accident, Ragusa said that Giuliani had been flagged down by a woman who was the victim of “a domestic violence incident,” and “immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911.” He remained on the scene until responding officers arrived.
The New Hampshire State Police said it was investigating a report of domestic violence when Giuliani’s vehicle was struck by another. Three people, including Giuliani, were taken to the hospital by ambulance with “non-life threatening injuries,” the police said.
In a separate statement to CNN, Ragusa told CNN that Giuliani was “in great spirits” and “fully alert and conscious.” When asked whether he suspected someone had targeted Giuliani, Ragusa said “This was a wrong place, wrong time accident.”
