Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and onetime attorney for Donald Trump, was injured in a car crash in New Hampshire and hospitalized with a fractured vertebra, according to his head of security and New Hampshire police.

The crash occurred on the highway when the car that Giuliani was riding in on Saturday night was hit from behind at high speed, said Giuliani’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, in a statement posted Sunday on X. Ragusa emphasized the incident was "not a targeted attack,” noting that Giuliani was driving a rental vehicle and that "no one knew it was him.”

The former mayor "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 said in the statement.

Earlier that evening, Giuliani had stopped to assist a woman who flagged him down, the statement said. Ragusa said she was a victim of domestic violence and that Giuliani contacted the police and remained at the scene until law enforcement arrived.

In later posts, Ragusa said he believes the two episodes are unrelated. "We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories,” he wrote.
