\u201cBob\u2019s Burgers\u201d<\/a> voice actor and comedian Eugene Mirman was pulled from a fiery car crash and hospitalized with serious injuries.<\/p>\n

Before noon on Tuesday, Mirman\u2019s Lucid Gravity struck the Bedford Toll Plaza in New Hampshire as he was traveling northbound on the F.E. Everett Turnpike. Callers reporting the crash said the vehicle had caught fire and the driver appeared to be trapped inside. New Hampshire State Police said that while units were responding to the 911 calls, Gov. Kelly Ayotte and her security detail came upon the crash and stopped to help.<\/p>\n

A trooper assigned to the governor\u2019s detail and two others pulled Mirman from the burning car through a window before first responders arrived. Gov. Ayotte retrieved a fire extinguisher, according to State Police Col. Mark Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, their actions were heroic in what they did,\u201d Hall said. \u201cWithout hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. Videos of the incident show the vehicle badly damaged and engulfed in flames. <\/p>\n

\u201cEugene was in a very scary car accident,\u201d Mirman\u2019s agent, Jay Glassner, confirmed in a statement Wednesday. \u201cHe wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crash remains under investigation. <\/p>\n

The animated series \u201cBob\u2019s Burgers,\u201d which centers on a family that runs a restaurant, celebrated its 300th episode, titled \u201cGrand Pre-Pre-Pre-Opening,\u201d when the Fox favorite premiered its 16th season in the fall. <\/p>\n

Often referred to as a \u201ccomfort show,\u201d the series features Mirman as kid brother Gene Belcher. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a mix of warmhearted and funny and sort of grounded,\u201d the actor told The Times last year. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a sibling camaraderie that is really lovely,\u201d Mirman continued. \u201cIt reminds me of the camaraderie on TV and movies in the \u201980s. That era of the stuff I grew up watching.\u201d<\/p>\n
