Teen driver in Rudy Giuliani car crash named

A 19-year-old woman has been identified as a driver involved in a car crash that injured former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and two others.

Lauren Kemp, of Concord, was driving the Honda HR-V that struck the rear of the Ford Bronco that Giuliani, 81, was travelling in on Saturday evening, New Hampshire State Police said in a statement on Sunday.

Troopers were investigating a domestic violence report on the southbound Interstate 93 highway shortly before 10 p.m., when they witnessed the crash on the northbound lanes, state police said. Troopers and fire personnel provided assistance.

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

Ragusa said Giuliani “sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously.” He added that the incident “was not a targeted attack.”

Giuliani’s spokesperson Ted Goodman, who was driving the Bronco, and Kemp “suffered non-life-threatening injuries” and were taken to hospitals for treatment, state police said.

No charges have been filed but “all aspects of the crash” remain under investigation, police said.
