Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has been gravely injured in a car accident in New Hampshire, according to a statement released late Sunday.

The 80-year-old was reportedly assisting a victim of domestic abuse when the incident occurred. Local authorities said Giuliani had stopped to offer help before his car was struck.

The collision left him seriously hurt, requiring immediate medical attention. Emergency responders transported him to a nearby hospital, where he is now under close observation.

Doctors have confirmed that his condition remains critical but stable. More details about the extent of his injuries are expected to be made public soon.

News of the accident spread quickly across social media, drawing widespread reactions. Many users expressed shock and pointed to the irony that Giuliani, long known as “America’s Mayor,” was injured while attempting to perform an act of public service.

Supporters and critics alike have posted messages of concern, with several calling him a man of action for stepping in during a dangerous situation. Others noted his history of involvement in both politics and public safety.

Authorities have not released further details about the domestic abuse victim Giuliani stopped to help, though they confirmed that an investigation into the crash is underway.

As updates continue to come in, Giuliani’s condition and the circumstances surrounding the accident remain the focus of both the public and the media.
