Giuliani Car Crash Not a Targeted Attack, Spokesman Says

A car crash that seriously injured former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in New Hampshire on Saturday night was not a targeted attack, as confirmed by his spokesman, Michael Ragusa. Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of domestic violence when he stopped to help and called 911. After officers arrived, Giuliani departed in his rental vehicle, which was then struck from, from behind at a high speed on the highway. Ragusa clarified that the incident was not a targeted attack and urged respect for Giuliani’s privacy during his recovery. Giuliani was hospitalized with multiple injuries, including a fractured thoracic vertebra, lacerations and contusions, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg. The former mayor is expected to be discharged from the hospital within the next few days. New Hampshire State Police are investigating the crash, which involved a 19-year-old woman driving a Honda HR-V striking Giuliani’s rented Ford Bronco from behind. Both vehicles were heavily damaged, and all parties involved were treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Police have not yet ruled out whether Giuliani was involved in helping the domestic violence victim on the scene.
