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.

30. First words that came to mind!

[riversedge]

2. I am glad he helped the domestic abuse woman.

[ZZenith]

22. You seriously believe that malarkey or were you being facetious?

No offense, I am genuinely curious.

[riversedge]

31. Here is a news article about it........

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.

Giuliani’s 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 Giuliani’s 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.............................

4. Interesting that they point out

This was not a targeted attack. Sure sounds suspicious to me, but I'm just a dumbass.

[BaronChocula]

5. The same Giuliani who defamed 2 Georgia poll workers?

I wish him all the pain. Though I once fractured my T7 vertebrae and it really didn't hurt that much. But sometimes I can feel it when the air pressure dips.

[Mysterian]

6. Wow, that sounds painful.

Anyway...football season comin' up!

[IbogaProject]

7. Sounds like no seatbelt

And hit from behind could be he swerved into another lane.

[DoBW]

8. FRG

cazzo di puttana

9. I thought all of Giuliani's vertabrea were pickled to a pliable substance.

10. Rooodie slowed down to proposition some woman he thought was a hooker...

...and got rear-ended.

[Bengus81]

11. He might have been distracted calling the WH for the 1,000th time and getting no return call

[DoBW]

12. mood ...

Mood when your vertebrae is in tact.💃🏾🕺🏿

35. Nicely done!

[llmart]

13. This whole story is full of bull.

Trying to make him out to be some kind of a hero by helping this woman. They'll probably pay her off to agree to the story.

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

[Oopsie Daisy]

14. At last... Some GOOD news today!

[The Madcap]

15. Too bad he has good medical care

unlike the peasantry.

[marchellojones]

16. Was he trying

to solicit a prostitute and that's why he had stopped on the road?

[twodogsbarking]

17. Was the car stolen? I thought they took his car.

[twodogsbarking]

18. Reports are that it is serious. He needs a personal injury lawyer.

[riversedge]

33. The news article said Rudy was in a rental car--and he had a driver.

[coffeebeforepants]

19. Wow, I guess

Guiliani has a spine after all...

[Martin68]

20. Giuliani had already politically hobbled himself beyond repair. He's history.

[AverageOldGuy]

21. Good news is Rudy was in a wreck.

Bad news is he survived and will live.

[Lucky Luciano]

23. I had a delicious spaghetti with marinara today.

[niyad]

25. Which wine did you have?

[niyad]

24. Apart from all the spot-on responses here, I have several questions.

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?

[riversedge]

32. A news article said Rudy had attended a ball game. Rudy had a driver.

[Jim__]

26. The woman flagged down Giuliani, but he wasn't driving the car?

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.

...

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.

[Captain Zero]

27. Still not enough karma for that SCUMBAG

When does he finally get the death penalty?

[oasis]

36. "carma"

[lastlib]

28. Oh, dear, I hope the car is okay!

The two ladies in Georgia are going to want their car in good condition.....

[Seinan Sensei]

29. Maybe he was shaving while driving

Kinda like he shaves in public restaurants while eating

[Pachamama]

34. Weird account of events

Read the NPR story - it’s very strange - first the mention of how he rendered assistance to someone who was a victim of domestic violence (?) and then it says the accident happened on other side of interstate where police already were?

[Marcuse]

37. Anything to stiff Miss Ruby.

[mwb970]

38. Close, but the wrong victim!

[twodogsbarking]

39. Read his book "I had a great life and fucked it all up".

[JohnnyRingo]

40. Looks like he's his own ambulance chaser.

We know he's gonna sue, and that's rather normal, but I imagine he'll go big, claiming his time is more valuable than anyone else on Earth

[Brainfodder]

41. In his never ending quest for attention, has he reported on this himself on CAM from his room yet?

I fear he too needs to hoard $ to bribe St. Peter?

[Cloudhopper]

42. I hope it hurts like hell! And he has security? I thought he was

bankrupt just a year or two ago. Or is this where Kamala's security detail was reassigned?

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. How very unfortunate (n.t.)

[VGNonly]

44. He was bleeding from the head.

[Justice matters.]

45. KARMA: A clear "warning" to all the republicans elected to serve the people...

NOT to serve a convicted pedophile and dictator wannabe...

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).

ENOUGH, cowards!

[LudwigPastorius]

46. Who knew Giuliani had vertebrae?

I always thought he was a really big tapeworm in a cheap suit.
