Eugene Mirman Injured in Fiery Toll Booth Crash in Bedford, NH
BEDFORD, NH—Eugene Mirman, known for his role as Gene Belcher on “Bob's Burgers,” sustained serious injuries in a car crash at the Bedford Toll Plaza on October 3.
New Hampshire State Police reported that a 2026 Lucid Gravity was involved in a single-vehicle accident that resulted in the vehicle catching fire. Responders received multiple 911 calls indicating someone was trapped inside.
Authorities confirmed that bystanders, including a state trooper, assisted in rescuing Mirman from the burning vehicle. His publicist has verified that he was the injured driver.
Mirman posted an update on social media, expressing gratitude to those who helped him and the hospital staff for their care. He noted he was recovering and humorously remarked about his lack of access to his phone.
Traffic on the Everett Turnpike was disrupted due to the incident. This crash follows another serious accident at the same toll plaza just days earlier.
No charges have been filed as the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Trooper Nathan Belanger at Nathan.R.Belanger@dos.nh.gov.
