Kemp, Giuliani and his driver \u2014 identified as Theodore Goodman of Michigan \u2014 all suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to local hospitals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/themikeragu\/status\/1962211227372863536\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" data-cms-ai=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Via social media Sunday afternoon<\/a>, a spokesman for Giuliani offered a different version of the events leading to the crash. In a post to Twitter, the spokesperson, Michael Ragusa, said Giuliani had been \u201cflagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident.\u201d Ragusa said Giuliani helped the woman and called 911, remaining until authorities arrived. After leaving the scene, Giuliani\u2019s vehicle was struck from behind, Ragusa said.<\/p>\n<p>Ragusa said the crash left Giuliani with fractured vertebrae, among other injuries.<\/p>\n<p>In their press release, New Hampshire State Police did not say anything about Giuliani playing a role in responding to the domestic violence incident, which took place on the opposite side of the highway from where the crash occurred.<\/p>\n<p>The crash shut down I-93 in both directions for about an hour, state police said. No charges have been filed in the accident.<\/p>\n<p>WMUR reported that Giuliani was seen attending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wmur.com\/article\/raw-video-rudy-giuliani-nh-baseball-game-car-crash\/65942972\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" data-cms-ai=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Saturday night\u2019s Fisher Cats<\/a> minor league baseball game.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani served as New York\u2019s mayor from 1994 to 2001.
