Accident Involving Rudy Giuliani Not a Targeted Attack

The car accident that left former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani injured on Saturday night was not a deliberate attack, according to his spokesman. Michael Ragusa, who is also Giuliani’s security director, noted that Giuliani was trying to assist a woman who was a victim of domestic violence when the incident occurred.

“This was not a targeted attack,” Ragusa stated in his response.

Giuliani suffered numerous injuries, which include fractured thoracic vertebrae and several lacerations on his left arm and other areas, Ragusa confirmed in his initial statement on Sunday.

On Monday, Ragusa provided updates on Giuliani’s recovery, sharing that his condition is improving. “He is expected to be discharged from the hospital within a few days,” Ragusa mentioned. He also emphasized, “This is the man who survived 9/11. A little car accident won’t slow him down. He’s eager to get back to fighting for this country, just as he has for the past 50 years.”

New Hampshire State Police are currently investigating the crash. A trooper observed the collision between two vehicles on northbound Interstate 93 in Manchester, which occurred shortly before the reports of domestic violence on the southbound side.

During the incident, Giuliani was a passenger in a rental Ford Bronco, driven by his advisor Ted Goodman. They were struck from behind by a 19-year-old woman in a Honda HR-V. Both vehicles sustained significant damage.

Authorities reported that Goodman and Giuliani were treated at local hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries. However, police have not confirmed if Giuliani was directly assisting domestic violence victims on the interstate at that time.

As the investigation continues, no charges have been filed related to the accident.
