Bob's Burgers star Eugene Mirman has been rushed to hospital after he was rescued from a fiery car crash.

The 51-year-old Russian-American actor - who is best known for voicing character Gene Belcher on the animated comedy series - was involved in a "very scary" incident in New Hampshire on Tuesday (03.31.26) when he was pulled out of a burning motor.

A rep for the actor told PEOPLE in a statement: "Eugene was in a very scary car accident.

"He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him."

Eugene is now "on the mend".

His rep added: "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."

A news release from the New Hampshire Division of State Police revealed a 2026 Lucid Gravity car struck the Bedford Toll Plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike road in Bedford, New Hampshire, and 911 callers indicated the vehicle had caught fire and someone was trapped inside.

The release stated: "While units were responding, a veteran State Trooper assigned to Governor Kelly Ayotte's security detail 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."

According to the release, the motorist, who has since been named as Mirman, had "serious injuries".

The veteran State Trooper, whose name has not been revealed due to the nature of their position, has been hailed as a hero after pulling the actor out of the burning motor.

State Police Colonel Mark B. Hall 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."

There haven't been any charges filed at the time of writing, but the New Hampshire Division of State Police confirmed "all aspects of the crash remain under investigation".

They are appealing for further information.
