Rudy Giuliani Injured in Car Accident in New Hampshire
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani described experiencing excruciating pain after sustaining serious injuries in a peculiar car crash in New Hampshire. He recounted the incident alongside his advisor, Ted Goodman, detailing how a speeding vehicle collided with the back of the SUV he had rented on Saturday night.
“We got hit in the back. Honestly, I think this is the hardest I’ve ever been hit, more than two childhood accidents and even football injuries,” the 81-year-old Giuliani shared during a broadcast.
“The car was going at what seemed like 70-80 mph. Instead of whipping around us, it just slammed into our bodies. I felt my body jerk and then the pain shot through me in that moment,” he explained.
Though he was in pain and somewhat immobilized, Giuliani managed to check on Goodman to see if he was alright.
“I was seriously hurt, but if I hadn’t been wearing my seat belt, things could have been much worse,” Giuliani remarked with gratitude.
Goodman remembered how Giuliani’s first reaction was to ask if he was injured and to inquire about other motorists who had stopped on the median after the crash occurred around 10 PM.
The two men noted that the 19-year-old driver involved in the accident was visibly upset and distraught.
All three individuals were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Giuliani suffered fractures in his vertebrae, along with several cuts and bruises on his left arm and legs from the collision.
As he recovers, Giuliani is wearing a back brace, which he stated is helping to stabilize his spine. “I feel like I’m on track with how the doctors predicted my recovery,” he noted, estimating that he would be back to normal in about three to four weeks.
Prior to the accident, Giuliani mentioned they had stopped to call for police assistance regarding a domestic violence issue before heading back onto the highway where the crash occurred.
Giuliani was released from the hospital on Monday, coinciding with President Trump’s announcement about awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “Honestly, it felt like the best medicine I could have received. After that, my pain seemed to just fade away,” he expressed enthusiastically.
