Giuliani Hospitalized After High-Speed Highway Crash

Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized with a number of injuries Saturday night after his car was rear-ended on a New Hampshire highway, according to his spokesperson. The 81-year-old former New York City mayor sustained "fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg," per a statement on X from rep Michael Ragusa.

Ragusa said the incident unfolded after Giuliani stopped to help after being "flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident." CBS News reports Giuliani called 911 and stayed with her until police arrived. He then resumed driving and was "struck from behind at high speed" while on the highway. Whether the two events were linked in any way remains unclear. "The mayor is in great spirits. He's a beast. He survived 9/11," Ragusa said, per the New York Post. He is "recovering tremendously," Ragusa added on X.
