Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized with multiple broken bones following a high-speed car accident in New Hampshire. This incident, which occurred on Saturday night, has raised concerns for his well-being, as confirmed by his spokesperson, Michael Ragusa, on Sunday.
According to Ragusa, Giuliani sustained significant injuries from the crash, including fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg. The circumstances surrounding the crash are particularly notable, as prior to the incident, Giuliani had stopped to assist a woman who was a victim of domestic violence. He promptly contacted 911 and stayed with her until law enforcement arrived to ensure her safety.
While the exact relationship between Giuliani's act of assistance and the subsequent car crash remains unclear, Ragusa has stated that the crash was not a targeted attack. This declaration aims to quell any speculation regarding the motivations behind this unfortunate incident.
In the wake of the accident, Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, who is currently leading the White House's FIFA World Cup 2026 Task Force, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from the public. He took to social media to share his sentiments, stating, "As a son, I can tell you I'm honored to have a Dad that I can call the toughest SOB I've ever seen!" This heartfelt message highlights the close bond between father and son, especially during challenging times.
Rudy Giuliani is a prominent figure in American politics, having gained fame in the 1980s and '90s as a prosecutor in New York City. He later served two successful terms as mayor before venturing into national politics, including a run for the presidency in 2008. In recent years, Giuliani has been known for his close advisory role to President Trump during his first term, as well as for promoting various conspiracy theories related to the 2020 election results.
This incident marks another chapter in Giuliani's tumultuous public life, as he continues to navigate the complexities of his political legacy and personal health challenges.
