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.
