Actor Eugene Mirman, who plays the character Gene Belcher on the animated ‘Bob’s Burgers’ TV series was injured in a fiery car crash in New Hampshire this week when his car ran into a toll booth.
By pure chance, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte was not far behind and assisted with the rescue when her car arrived at the scene.
Mirman was ultimately pulled from the burning wreck by state troopers and civilians at the scene. He is lucky to be alive.

New Hampshire governor, her security helped ‘Bob’s Burgers’ star after fiery crash
New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte and her security detail were among those who assisted in a fiery crash at a New Hampshire toll plaza on Tuesday — with a state trooper on her detail and two other bystanders helping pull the driver from the burning vehicle, according to state police.
The driver of the car was “Bob’s Burgers” star Eugene Mirman, 51, of Massachusetts.
“Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries,” Mirman’s agent, Jay Gassner, said in a statement.
The “dangerous” collision occurred at the Bedford Toll Plaza on the Everett Turnpike shortly before noon, according to New Hampshire State Police Director Col. Mark Hall.
The vehicle, a 2026 Lucid electric vehicle, “immediately became engulfed in flames,” Hall said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
The governor and her security detail came upon the accident just after the vehicle crashed into the toll plaza, Hall said. A New Hampshire state trooper assigned to her detail and two other bystanders helped Mirman — the lone occupant — out of the burning vehicle through the window, according to Hall.
