A spokesman for Rudy Giuliani says the 81‑year‑old former New York City mayor was seriously injured in a car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday night.
According to an official statement shared with Fox News Digital, Giuliani was flagged down by a woman fleeing a domestic-violence incident. He helped the woman and called 911, remaining on the scene until police arrived.
While later traveling on the highway, his rental vehicle was hit from behind at high speed.
He is in “good spirits and recovering tremendously,” spokesman and head of security Michael Ragusa told Fox News Digital.

“He’ll be released in a few days and he’s doing great. Conscious, alert, strong. He’ll be back to business as usual this week,” Ragusa added.

“This was not a targeted attack,” Ragusa added in a reply post on X. “We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.”
Giuliani’s business partner and medical provider went to the hospital to oversee his care, according to Ragusa.
