The driver who slammed into Rudy Giuliani’s car, causing a serious crash that left the former New York City mayor badly injured, has been identified as 19-year-old Laren Kemp of Concord, Massachusetts.
According to police, Kemp was driving a Honda HR-V on Saturday evening when it collided with the rear of a Ford Bronco carrying Giuliani, 81, heavily damaging both vehicles. Giuliani was rushed to a nearby trauma center, where doctors treated him for a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple cuts and bruises, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg, his spokesman Michael Ragusa confirmed Sunday.
Moments before the crash, Giuliani’s car had reportedly been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident,” Ragusa said. Giuliani contacted police on her behalf and stayed with her until officers arrived. As he was leaving the area, his vehicle was “struck from behind at high speed.”
Ragusa clarified on X that the crash was “not a targeted attack,” stressing that Giuliani is “in good spirits and recovering tremendously.” He also urged the public to “respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery” and avoid spreading conspiracy theories.
No charges have been filed against Kemp at this time, but authorities have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
