Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and ex-Trump attorney, has been hospitalized with serious injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire, according to his head of security.
The collision happened on Saturday night, according to spokesperson Michael Ragusa, while Giuliani’s vehicle was travelling on a highway. Details on the crash are limited; Ragusa only said Giuliani’s vehicle was “struck from behind at high speed.”
Initial reports did not say when or where in the state this occurred, or whether there were any other injuries as a result of the crash. In addition, no details on the other driver or any other possible passengers were provided.
Giuliani was then transported to a nearby trauma center, where Ragusa said he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.
At 12:55 p.m. on Sunday, Giuliani’s X account published a post that said, “Thank you to @MariaRyanNH who is a board certified nurse practitioner overseeing the care of America’s Mayor . (Nurse practitioners do everything a doctor does except surgery)”
Before the crash, Ragusa said Giuliani had been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident.” The spokesperson said that Giuliani helped her and called 911, and remained on the scene until officers arrived. However, Ragusa later stated that this was not connected to the crash that happened an unspecified amount of time later.
Ragusa added the following statement to his original X thread about the crash: “This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.”
In the X replies, when someone asked where Giuliani’s security was at the time of the crash, Ragusa said, “You can’t control reckless drivers hitting you from behind my brother.” Also in the replies, Ragusa said Giuliani was “in a rent a car no one knew it was him,” emphasizing that this was a random collision.
