After being pulled from a fiery crash in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Bob’s Burgers actor Eugene Mirman has been hospitalized with serious injuries.
Mirman, who voices Gene Belcher in the Fox animated sitcom was driving on the F.E. Everett Turnpike when he crashed his 2026 Lucid Gravity into the Bedford Toll Plaza, according to a press release from the New Hampshire police.
According to the report, “911 callers indicated the vehicle caught fire, and someone in the vehicle appeared to be trapped.”
The report continued, saying a veteran State Trooper alongside New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, “came upon the crash, saw that the vehicle was actively on fire, and observed the driver was still inside. The driver was then pulled from the burning car through a window and brought to safety.” Mirman was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Ayotte shared a statement on X, saying she wants to “thank the Trooper on my security detail and the bystanders who stepped up to help at the scene of the crash for their brave lifesaving efforts today.”
