“Bob’s Burgers” voice actor Eugene Mirman was hospitalized Tuesday with “serious injuries” after being rescued from a fiery car crash in New Hampshire.
Millman, who provides the voice of Gene Belcher on the FOX animated sitcom, was driving on the FE Everett Turnpike when he crashed his 2026 Lucid Gravity into the Bedford Toll Plaza just before noon, according to a New Hampshire State Police press release. NHPD identified Millman, 51, as the driver.
As the car burst into flames, Millman was pulled out the window and rescued by witnesses, including a state trooper and New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, who happened to be driving near the wreckage with a security guard. Millman was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
