Rudy Giuliani<\/a> was hospitalized with multiple broken bones after his vehicle was “struck from behind at high speed” in New Hampshire, his spokesperson said Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to his spokesperson, Michael Ragusa, Giuliani suffered “fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crash occurred Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to New Hampshire State Police, troopers were responding to a report of domestic violence on the southbound side of Interstate 93 when they saw the crash involving Giuliani on the northbound side of the highway.<\/p>\n

A Honda driven by a woman identified as 19-year-old Lauren Kemp hit the back of a Ford that Giuliani was riding in, which was being driven by his associate Ted Goodman, according to state police. All three were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Both vehicles were “heavily damaged,” police said.<\/p>\n

Ragusa said that before the crash, Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence. He “rendered assistance,” contacted 911 and “remained on scene with her until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety.”<\/p>\n

In a follow-up, Ragusa said the crash was “not a targeted attack.”<\/p>\n

Giuliani’s son, Andrew, who is the head of the White House’s FIFA World Cup 2026 Task Force, thanked people who have reached out after the crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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!” he\u00a0posted on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giuliani rose to fame in the 1980s and ’90s in New York City as a prosecutor before being elected mayor. After two terms as mayor, he dabbled in national politics, even running for president in 2008. Later, he became a close adviser to President Trump in his first term and became a key spreader of conspiracy theories targeting the ballot counters after Mr. Trump lost the 2020 election. <\/p>\n

Giuliani was disbarred in New York and Washington, D.C<\/a>. and he\u00a0declared bankruptcy<\/a> after being found liable for $146 million for spreading falsehoods about Georgia election workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
