Eugene Mirman, 51, was pulled out of his 2026 Lucid Gravity by a state trooper after he struck a toll plaza in Bedford, New Hampshire. The comedian, who voices Gene Belcher in the popular adult cartoon, was taken to the hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries, a spokesman for the New Hampshire State Police said.
Mirman’s agent confirmed that he was involved in a “very scary car accident” but was “on the mend.” New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte was also on the scene and aided the state trooper, who was assigned to her security detail, in pulling Mirman out of his luxury SUV. Aside from his role as the middle child of Bob and Linda Belcher in the popular cartoon, Mirman has appeared in shows like Flight of the Conchords, Archer, and Broad City. Police said that an investigation into the crash is ongoing.Read it at The New York TimesRead more at The Daily Beast.
