Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized with a broken vertebrae after a car accident, his spokesperson said on Sunday. Giuliani, 81, was traveling on a highway in New Hampshire when his car was "struck from behind at high speed," said Michael Ragusa, who is also his head of security.
"He was transported to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg," Ragusa wrote on social media. "His business partner and medical provider were promptly contacted and arrived at the hospital to oversee his care."
Although Giuliani was injured, he is "in good spirits and recovering tremendously," he said. The incident was not a "targeted attack," Ragusa added, and asked people to "refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories."
Before the accident, Giuliani had been "flagged down" by a woman who was involved in a domestic violence incident and he "immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911," Ragusa also stated. The former mayor remained on scene until law enforcement arrived to ensure the woman's safety.

(77,799 posts)I think this is the article I read earlier but really do not recall. The article I read said it was Rudy who made the call to police after he and his driver were flagged down by the woman with a domestic violence incident. There has to be a police report about the domestic violence incident happening on a freeway. But I do not see any posted--maybe to early?? Time will tell--maybe.

MANCHESTER, N.H.
Just before 10 p.m. Saturday, New Hampshire State Police say someone called 911 about a domestic violence incident on the side of I-93 south in Manchester, New Hampshire.
In a statement, Michael Ragusa, the head of security for former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani, said it was Guiliani that made the call, after pulling over to help.
Giulianis team says the 81-year-old stayed with the woman until New Hampshire State Police arrived then, got back into his Ford Bronco rental with is driver, Theodore Goodman, and left.
According to the statement from Giulianis security, shortly after, the former mayor and his driver got back onto the highway, this time, heading north, when they were hit from behind by another vehicle driven by a 19-year-old woman, according to police.
State police say the crash sent both vehicles into the median.............................

Also I'd like to add, "I really don't care, do you?"

(127,277 posts)What was he doing in NH? Was he actually driving? Whose car, since he was supposedly too broke to pay the GA women? Does anybody seriously believe the story about the DV victim? Was he drunk, as usual?
AND: his business partner rushed to oversee his care?

Three people, including Giuliani and the driver of the car he was traveling in, suffered "non-life-threatening injuries and were taken by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment," the police also said.

Remember that KARMA is real and it can hit you when least expected, and that you still have time to make amends and give him the boot (before it's too late for you).
