Rudy Giuliani, the former personal lawyer to US President Donald Trump, has been hospitalized after a car crash near Manchester, New Hampshire. Giuliani, 81, suffered a fractured vertebra and multiple lacerations in the accident, which occurred on Saturday evening.
According to Giuliani’s spokesman, Michael Ragusa, the car crash was not a targeted attack. Ragusa said that Giuliani’s rental car was hit from behind at high speed, and that the former mayor was taken to a nearby trauma center for treatment.
Before the accident, Giuliani had stopped to assist a woman who was a victim of a domestic violence incident. He contacted police on her behalf, and after the police arrived, he continued on his way. Shortly after pulling onto the highway, his vehicle was hit.
Giuliani’s injuries include “a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” Ragusa said. Despite his injuries, Giuliani is said to be in great spirits and is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days.
The car crash comes at a time when Giuliani has been facing significant challenges in his personal and professional life. In recent years, he has been involved in a number of high-profile controversies, including his role in promoting Trump’s false allegations of fraud in the 2020 election.
Rudy Giuliani has also faced financial difficulties, including a $148m defamation judgment against him by two former Georgia election workers. As a result, he was found in contempt of court and faced a trial over the ownership of some of his assets.
Ultimately, Giuliani struck a deal that allowed him to keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers.
The accident has raised concerns about Giuliani’s safety and well-being, particularly given his advanced age and the severity of his injuries. However, according to Ragusa, Giuliani is receiving the best possible care and is expected to make a full recovery.
As Giuliani recovers from his injuries, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact his future plans and activities. For now, his priority appears to be recovering from his injuries and getting back to full health.
The incident has also highlighted Giuliani’s commitment to helping others, as evidenced by his decision to stop and assist the woman who was a victim of domestic violence. This selfless act is a testament to Giuliani’s character and his willingness to help those in need.
In the coming days, it is likely that Giuliani will face a long and challenging recovery process. However, with the right medical care and support, he is expected to make a full recovery and return to his normal activities. For now, his health and well-being are the top priority.
