Overview
- The rescue followed a Tuesday crash at the Bedford tolls where an all-electric Lucid Gravity hit the plaza and caught fire.
- New Hampshire State Police identified the driver as Yevgeny Mirman, 51, of Massachusetts, with outlets reporting he is comedian Eugene Mirman from Bob’s Burgers.
- A state trooper on Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s security team pulled Mirman through a window as bystanders, including the governor, helped with fire extinguishers.
- Mirman suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to Elliot Hospital, and his agent said he is grateful to be recovering and asked for privacy.
- Fire crews battled a stubborn EV blaze and shut northbound lanes during the response, and the site’s recent crashes have spurred a plan to replace toll booths with open-road tolling by 2027.
