Concord, N.H. — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident in New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon, according to state authorities and his representatives. The 81-year-old politician and attorney suffered a fractured vertebrae, multiple lacerations, and other injuries in the crash.

New Hampshire State Police said the accident occurred shortly after 3 p.m. on Interstate 89 near Lebanon. Giuliani was reportedly traveling in a black SUV when the vehicle left the roadway and collided with a guardrail. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether he was the driver or a passenger, but no other vehicles were involved.

Emergency crews extricated Giuliani from the damaged vehicle and transported him to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, where he is currently in stable but serious condition, according to hospital officials.

Statement From Family and Legal Team

Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, released a statement Sunday evening:

“My father sustained serious injuries in today’s accident, but we are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals who acted swiftly. He is in stable condition and receiving excellent care. We ask for privacy as he begins his recovery.”

Giuliani’s legal team also confirmed that he would likely remain hospitalized for several weeks as doctors monitor spinal injuries and internal trauma.

Ongoing Investigation

State police are investigating the cause of the crash. Weather conditions in the area at the time were clear, and no evidence of alcohol or reckless driving has been released. Officials said a full report will be issued once the investigation is complete.

A Controversial Public Figure

Giuliani, once celebrated as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership in New York City following the September 11 attacks, has in recent years become a polarizing national figure due to his close ties to former President Donald Trump and his involvement in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He is currently facing several ongoing legal battles, including disciplinary actions related to his law license.

Despite this, allies across the political spectrum expressed sympathy following news of the crash. “We wish him a full and speedy recovery,” said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), while Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called Giuliani “a fighter who has always put New York and America first.”

What Comes Next

Doctors said Giuliani will undergo additional scans this week to determine whether surgery will be required for his spinal injuries. His family has indicated they will provide updates as his condition evolves.

For now, the accident marks another dramatic turn in the life of a man who has spent decades in the public eye — as a prosecutor, mayor, political operative, and now a patient facing a long road to recovery.
