Bob's Burgers fans may recognize the name of the driver pulled from a burning SUV at a New Hampshire toll plaza this week. State police on Tuesday identified the injured motorist as 51-year-old Yevgeny "Eugene" Mirman of Massachusetts, who voices Gene Belcher on the long-running animated series, per WMUR. Mirman was driving a Lucid Gravity, an all-electric SUV, when it crashed near the Bedford tolls around midday and later caught fire.
Police say Gov. Kelly Ayotte's motorcade happened upon the wreck, and her security detail—along with other passersby—pulled Mirman from the vehicle through a window before it became fully engulfed in flames. Ayotte herself exited her car and attempted to help, including using a fire extinguisher, according to State Police Col. Mark Hall, who said the governor was never in danger.
Mirman, the lone occupant of the vehicle, suffered serious injuries, though they're not thought to be life threatening. The Moscow-born actor has voiced Gene Belcher for all 16 seasons of Bob's Burgers. In a post on X, Ayotte thanked the trooper and bystanders for their "brave lifesaving efforts," adding that she and her husband are praying for Mirman. "It's an example of the great work first responders do each day to keep New Hampshire safe and how Granite Staters always step up to help someone in need," she wrote in a follow-up post. The AP notes that the crash remains under investigation.
