Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s head of security.

Giuliani “sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said, adding: “This was not a targeted attack.”

Prior to the accident, Giuliani had been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident” and contacted police assistance on her behalf, Ragusa said. After police arrived, Giuliani continued on his way and his vehicle was hit shortly after pulling onto the highway in a crash that was “entirely unrelated” to the domestic violence incident, Ragusa told The Associated Press in an emailed statement.

That story doesn’t add up. He helped a domestic violence victim on the side of the interstate, then a few minutes later was rear ended by another car in an unrelated incident? I guarantee you this story will change and his involvement is more than he’s admitting.

Remember this man lies about fucking everything, just like his handler. Remember when he was patted on the back by a man while campaigning in a grocery store, and claimed he was hit so hard, the concussive force nearly knocked other people over in the room?

In a video on his Facebook page, he described it as if “a boulder hit me” and said that “it hurt tremendously.” Giuliani added he intended to see a doctor, although he did not require immediate medical attention after the incident, police said at the time.

He had that man arrested and charged with second degree assault - “attempts to cause serious bodily injury, or causes such injury with extreme indifference to human life”.

Tragically found alive at scene of automobile accident.

While on his way to donate blood at the red cross, he spotted a baby in a stroller rolling into traffic. Heroically, after putting his pants back on, he lunged into the street in the nick time to save said baby and return it to a gushing mother. Later that day, our hero was hit in his car in an unrelated incident.

Probably "entirely unrelated" to his documented day drinking too.

Hey, let's not jump to conclusions here. It might also have been blow. Or meth. Or...

Hope it causes lots of complications

I wonder if it's anything like the time that guy slapped him on the back in Duane Reade
