Ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani seriously injured in New Hampshire car crash; here’s what his spokesperson said

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani sustained serious injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire, his spokesperson said on Sunday (August 31, 2025). According to the spokesperson, he is recovering from a fractured vertebrae and other injuries. Briefing about the accident, Giuliani's head of security, Michael Ragusa, posted a statement on X stating that Giuliani's vehicle was struck from behind while traveling on a highway Saturday evening (August 30, 2025). “He sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said. “This was not a targeted attack,” Ragusa further stated.

Giuliani, 81, was rushed to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for injuries including “a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” according to Ragusa.




“Thank you to all the people that have reached out since learning the news about my Father,” Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani’s son, wrote in the post on X. “Your prayers mean the world.”

Before the accident, Giuliani had been "flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident" and contacted police assistance on her behalf, Ragusa said. He said in the statement that the subsequent crash was “random and unrelated” to the domestic violence incident.

Not a targeted attack, says Ragusa

In a follow up post, head of security Ragusa said, :This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories."
