THE MARQUEE
Eugene Mirman, the beloved comedian and voice of Gene Belcher on Bob's Burgers, was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. The crash occurred at the Bedford Toll Plaza in New Hampshire when Mirman’s 2026 Lucid Gravity collided with a barrier and quickly caught fire. Emergency responders and witnesses described a chaotic scene as the electric SUV became engulfed in flames shortly after the impact.
In a dramatic rescue, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte was among the first on the scene to assist a state trooper and several bystanders in pulling Mirman from the burning wreckage. According to reports from TMZ and The Guardian, the group managed to extract the actor just moments before the fire intensified. Mirman was immediately treated by paramedics at the scene before being transported to a nearby medical facility.
Medical officials state that Mirman suffered serious injuries, though they are currently considered non-life-threatening. The New Hampshire State Police have launched an investigation into the cause of the collision, though authorities noted that no charges have been filed at this time. His agent, Jay Glassner, released a statement on April 1, 2026, confirming that Mirman was 'on the mend' and expressing gratitude to the bystanders and first responders who assisted him.
