Bob’s Burgers star Eugene Mirman is facing “serious injuries” following a Tuesday car crash in New Hampshire.
On Tuesday, a 2026 Lucid Gravity crashed into the Bedford Toll Plaza, with Mirman later being identified as the vehicle’s driver, per a press release from New Hampshire police. The accident was described as a single-vehicle crash.
A veteran State Trooper assigned to Governor Kelly Ayotte’s security detail responded to the crash, and noticed that the car was on fire with a passenger still inside. Mirman was pulled from the vehicle while it was burning through a window, as Governor Ayotte and other witnesses as the scene assisted the Trooper.
Mirman, 51, was taken to a nearby hospital with “serious injuries.” The press release indicates that no charges have been filed at this time, though all aspects of the crash are under investigation.
“Certainly, their actions were heroic in what they did,” Colonel Mark B. Hall said in a statement. “Without hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it.”
Governor Ayotte took to X on Tuesday after the crash, writing, “I want 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. Joe and I are praying for the full recovery of the driver who was injured today.”
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Mirman’s reps, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Mirman joined the cast of Bob’s Burgers in the show’s inaugural season, where he voices Gene Belcher. He has appeared in all 16 installments of the animated Fox series.
His additional credits include Confess, Fletch (2022), Teenage Euthanasia (2023), Apple & Onion (2016-2021) and Delocated (2009-2012). Mirman has also lent his voice acting talents to The Bob’s Burgers Movie in 2022, and a 2018 episode of The Simpsons.
Mirman is also a stand-up comedian. His latest special, entitled Here Comes The Whimsy, dropped on Veeps on Feb. 5, which he celebrated on his Instagram.
