Eugene Mirman, who voices Gene Belcher on "Bob's Burgers," was pulled from a fiery car crash in New Hampshire and is recovering following his hospitalization due to "serious injuries."
The 51-year-old was driving northbound when he crashed into the Bedford Toll Plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike the early afternoon on March 31, according to the New Hampshire State Police's news release.
Mirman was then "pulled from the burning car through a window and brought to safety" by a veteran state trooper who was working on New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte's security detail, according to authorities. The actor "suffered serious injuries" and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
New Hampshire State Police Col. Mark Hall said at an afternoon press conference on March 31 that Mirman had "serious but non-life threatening injuries."
Eugene Mirman attends the world premiere of "The Bobs Burgers Movie" at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, on May 17, 2022.
"Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend," his agent said in an April 1 statement to USA TODAY.
"At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries."

Noting there are cement barriers at the toll booths, Col. Hall said Mirman's car "immediately became engulfed in flames." Troopers "responded within minutes" to the scene, and lanes were closed for hours afterward. Several lanes reopened by 5 p.m.
Gov. Ayotte was among the witnesses on the scene who assisted with the rescue, per police.
"All aspects of the crash remain under investigation," and no charges have been filed so far. A spokesperson for New Hampshire's Department of Safety told USA TODAY on April 1 that no additional information is available.
