Eugene Mirman<\/a>, known as the voice of Gene on Bob’s Burgers<\/i><\/a> as well as appearances on Flight of the Conchords<\/i> and Archer<\/i>, was involved with a life-threatening car crash in Bedford, New Hampshire on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After crashing into the Bedford Toll Plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike, Deadline reports<\/a>, the car caught fire. Mirman was then rescued by bystanders including New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte’s detail and a veteran state trooper, who pulled him through the window to safety.<\/p>\n

The incident is now under investigation; no charges have been filed.<\/p>\n

In addition to his ongoing work on Bob’s Burgers<\/i>, Mirman’s other recent credits include appearances on Last Week Tonight<\/i> and the animated series Teenage Euthanasia<\/i>. His latest comedy special, Here Comes the Whimsy<\/i>, was just released this February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
