🔥🚗 ‘BOB’S BURGERS’ STAR EUGENE MIRMAN RESCUED FROM FIERY CRASH! Governor’s Security Detail PULLS HIM FROM BURNING CAR – Heroic Escape!

In a terrifying sequence that could have been a scene from a disaster movie, Eugene Mirman – the beloved voice actor behind Gene Belcher on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers” – was pulled from a burning, mangled electric vehicle after crashing into a New Hampshire toll plaza on Tuesday. The 51-year-old comedian and actor suffered serious injuries but is now recovering, thanks to the split-second heroics of a state trooper assigned to protect Governor Kelly Ayotte. The crash occurred shortly before noon when Mirman’s 2026 Lucid Gravity electric vehicle slammed into the Bedford Toll Plaza on the Everett Turnpike. The impact was so violent that the car immediately caught fire, trapping Mirman inside.

Enter the heroes. Governor Ayotte and her security detail happened upon the scene moments after the crash. Without hesitation, a New Hampshire State Trooper from the governor’s security team rushed to the burning vehicle. Joined by two bystanders, the trooper broke a window and pulled Mirman out of the inferno just as flames engulfed the front cabin. Governor Ayotte herself exited her vehicle and grabbed a fire extinguisher, though she was never in danger. “Without hesitation, they put themselves in harm’s way to provide help to someone who needed it,” said State Police Col. Mark Hall, calling the rescue “heroic.”

Mirman, whose legal name is Yevgeny Mirman, was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. His agent, Jay Glassner, confirmed the news in a statement Wednesday: “Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He would like to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be recovering. At this time, we kindly request privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries.”

Governor Ayotte, a Republican, took to social media to praise the rescuers. “I’m proud of the state trooper and bystanders who saved a life at yesterday’s crash scene in Bedford,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s an example of the great work first responders do every day to keep New Hampshire safe and how Granite Staters always step up to help someone in need.” She also shared local news footage of the aftermath, which showed the Lucid Gravity wedged against the toll booth, flames shooting from its front end.

The crash has reignited concerns about electric vehicle battery fires, which burn hotter and are harder to extinguish than gasoline fires. The Lucid Gravity is a high-end EV known for its long range and luxury features, but Tuesday’s incident will likely prompt questions about crash safety and battery thermal runaway. State police are investigating the cause of the accident; early reports suggest Mirman may have suffered a medical episode or lost control due to speed. Toxicology results are pending.

For fans of “Bob’s Burgers,” the news was a gut punch. Mirman has voiced the eccentric, keyboard-obsessed Gene Belcher for over 300 episodes, making him a beloved fixture of the animated comedy. His deadpan delivery and musical improvisations are fan favorites. Outside of the show, Mirman is a stand-up comedian and voice actor for other series, including “The Simpsons” and “Big Mouth.” He is married and has two children.

As of Thursday, Mirman remains hospitalized, but his condition is improving. The show’s producers released a statement: “Our hearts are with Eugene and his family. He’s a cherished member of the Bob’s Burgers family, and we’re sending all our love and support for a speedy recovery.” Fans have flooded social media with well-wishes, memes, and clips of Gene’s best moments. “If anyone can turn a fiery crash into a hilarious anecdote, it’s Eugene,” one fan wrote. “Get well soon, Gene!”

For now, the Mirman family asks for privacy. But one thing is clear: without the quick actions of a state trooper, two bystanders, and a governor who didn’t hesitate, this story could have ended in tragedy. Instead, it’s a testament to everyday heroism – and a reminder to hug the ones you love. Eugene Mirman survived. And when he recovers, he’ll have one hell of a story to tell.
