Rudy Giuliani was helping woman involved in domestic violence incident before crash, police say
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was helping a woman involved in a domestic violence incident before a car crash that left him hospitalized, police said.
Giuliani and his driver, Theodore Goodman, were driving on Interstate 93 near Manchester, New Hampshire, around 10 p.m. on Aug. 30 when their car was struck from behind, New Hampshire State Police (NHSP) said in a news release.
Both Goodman and Giuliani, as well as the driver of the other vehicle, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment, NHSP said.
Giuliani was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg, his head of security, Michael Ragusa, said in a post on X on Aug. 31.
Ragusa also said Giuliani and Goodman were "assisting a domestic violence victim" prior to the crash. NHSP confirmed Ragusa's report and provided more details about the incident in an update on Sept. 1.

Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani's son, said his father was released from the hospital in an interview with WABC's "Cats and Cosby" radio show on Sept. 1.
"I'm happy to report that he got out of the hospital today," Andrew Giuliani said. "Walking, thank God, fractured vertebrae and obviously he's in a lot of pain, but as you guys know, there are few tougher than Rudy Giuliani."
The New York Times also reported that Giuliani was released, citing Ragusa and Giuliani's friend Arthur Aidala.
USA TODAY has reached out to Ragusa for more information.
Ragusa said in his initial statement that Giuliani "is in good spirits and recovering tremendously."
"This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani's privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories," Ragusa said on X.
Police confirm Giuliani helped woman 'involved in a domestic violence incident' before crash
Prior to the accident, Giuliani, a former attorney for President Donald Trump, and Goodman were flagged down by a woman on the side of the road who said she had been involved in a domestic violence incident, NHSP confirmed in an update on Sept. 1.
Goodman reported the incident to law enforcement just after 9 p.m., and he and Giuliani remained at the scene until police arrived. After telling troopers what they had witnessed, the two men left the scene, NHSP said.
Minutes after getting back on the highway, a Honda HR-V struck the back of a Ford Bronco carrying Goodman and Giuliani, NHSP said.
The crash happened "almost directly across from the scene of the reported domestic violence incident." Police officers who were already at the initial scene responded to the crash, NHSP said.
Police believe the driver who hit Goodman and Giuliani's vehicle had no connection to the initial domestic violence incident.
The crash remains under investigation, including whether "distraction or curiosity of the initial scene" was a factor, NHSP said.
