Former New York City mayor sustained vertebra fracture and other injuries
Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City, has been hospitalized following a traffic accident on a New Hampshire highway. According to his security team, the 81-year-old suffered a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple cuts, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg.
Accident details and medical condition
Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind at high speed while traveling on Interstate 93. Both cars involved sustained heavy damage and ended up in the median. State police and fire personnel, who were already at the scene attending another incident, quickly provided aid.
He was transported to a nearby trauma center, where medical specialists confirmed the extent of his injuries. Despite the seriousness of the accident, his condition has been described as stable, and doctors consider his recovery process favorable.
Background and reactions
Before the crash, Giuliani had stopped to assist a woman involved in a domestic violence situation, contacting emergency services and staying at the scene until law enforcement arrived to ensure her safety.
His son, Andrew Giuliani, expressed gratitude for the support received and emphasized his father’s resilience.
Nationally recognized for his leadership during the September 11, 2001 attacks, Giuliani has remained an influential figure in U.S. politics. In recent years, however, he has faced multiple legal challenges connected to his involvement in efforts to contest the 2020 presidential election results.
