The popular voice actor of Bob's Burgers, Eugene Mirman, has suffered serious injuries after a car crash in New Hampshire, said The Hollywood Reporter.
According to the publication, the accident took place on Tuesday at the Bedford Toll Plaza. The vehicle involved, a 2026 Lucid Gravity, crashed into the toll area in what was described as a single-vehicle accident. Mirman was later identified as the driver. A state trooper who was part of Governor Kelly Ayotte's security team reached the spot and saw that the car had caught fire, with a passenger still inside. With help from the governor and others present there, the trooper managed to pull Mirman out of the burning vehicle through a window. The 51-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital and is said to have "serious injuries." Authorities said that no charges have been filed so far, and the matter is still being looked into. Soon after the news of Mirman's accident broke, his team, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, gave an update on his condition and also thanked those who helped the actor. "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," the statement read. Reacting to the incident, Colonel Mark B. Hall praised the people who helped at the scene and said, "Certainly, their actions were heroic in what they did. Without hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it. Eugene Mirman is best known for voicing Gene Belcher in 'Bob's Burgers' since the show began. He has also worked in films and shows like 'The Bob's Burgers Movie,' 'The Simpsons,' and 'Apple & Onion.' (ANI)
