Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, age 81, was seriously injured in a car accident on the evening of August 30, 2025 in New Hampshire. Giuliani had pulled over to assist a woman who identified herself as a domestic violence victim—calling 911 and staying at the scene until law enforcement arrived—when the crash occurred shortly thereafter.
Giuliani’s rental vehicle was rear-ended at high speed shortly after he re-entered it. He sustained a fractured vertebra, cuts, and bruises—particularly to his left arm and lower leg. He is currently hospitalized in the Manchester area and is expected to remain in good spirits over the next two to three days while recovering. A brace will be required upon his release.
Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s spokesman, described him as “in great spirits” and characterized him as a “beast,” noting that he has overcome past challenges such as surviving the 9/11 attacks. Giuliani’s business partner and nurse, Maria Ryan, is helping manage his care during hospitalization.
Despite his injuries, Giuliani’s willingness to stop and help a stranger highlights the same resilience and duty to others that defined his leadership during America’s darkest hours. His actions reflect a legacy of service and courage that continues even in personal adversity.
