Bob's Burgers star Eugene Mirman has been rushed to hospital after he was rescued from a fiery car crash.

The 51-year-old Russian-American actor, who is best known for voicing character Gene Belcher on the animated comedy series, was involved in a "very scary" incident in the US state of New Hampshire on Tuesday.

A rep for the actor told People that Mirman was "on the mend" and wanted to thank "the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him".

A news release from the New Hampshire Division of State Police revealed a 2026 Lucid Gravity car struck the Bedford Toll Plaza in Bedford, New Hampshire, and emergency callers indicated the vehicle had caught fire and someone was trapped inside.

"While units were responding, a veteran state trooper assigned to Governor Kelly Ayotte's security detail came upon the crash, saw that the vehicle was actively on fire, and observed the driver was still inside," the statement said.

"The driver was then pulled from the burning car through a window and brought to safety."

According to the release, the motorist, since named as Mirman, was seriously injured.

The veteran state trooper has been hailed as a hero after pulling the actor out of the burning motor.

The crash is being investigated.
