Eugene Mirman Says He’s ‘On the Mend’ After Fiery New Hampshire Toll-Plaza Crash

His first message since the crash signals progress in his recovery.

Overview

  • Mirman, 51, was seriously hurt when his 2026 Lucid Gravity hit the Bedford Toll Plaza in Bedford, New Hampshire, on Tuesday, March 31, around 11:55 a.m.
  • A veteran state trooper on Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s security detail pulled him through a window as the SUV burned, with help from the governor and bystanders.
  • He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, and on Friday he posted on Instagram that he is “on the mend” and grateful to his rescuers and care team.
  • New Hampshire State Police say the single-vehicle crash remains under investigation, no charges have been filed, and the trooper has not been publicly named.
  • Dispatch audio and video published by media showed he was described as “incoherent” just after the rescue and the car fully engulfed, drawing fresh focus to a toll plaza long tied to crashes and slated for all-electronic tolling in 2027.
