The fiery car wreck that Bob's Burgers voice actor Eugene Mirman was rescued from earlier this week has been revealed in chilling detail.
New photos obtained by the Daily Mail show the completely demolished husk of Mirman's car as flames leap up high into the air in Bedford, New Hampshire.
Firefighters were pictured on the scene as they battled the inferno, which looked as if it threatened to engulf a booth at the Bedford Toll Plaza.
Mirman, 51, had been driving a 2026 Lucid Gravity before it crashed at the toll plaza, leaving him trapped inside as the vehicle burst into flames in a horrific scene.
Luckily, a seasoned state trooper, joined by New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte and other bystanders, quickly sprang into action, pulling Mirman from the vehicle through a window to safety, WCVB reported.
State Police confirmed in a press release that Mirman 'suffered serious injuries after their vehicle crashed into a toll plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike' on Tuesday.

State Police confirmed in a press release that Mirman, 51, 'suffered serious injuries after their vehicle crashed into a toll plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike' on Tuesday; he's pictured in October 2025 in NYC
'911 callers indicated the vehicle had caught fire, and someone in the vehicle appeared to be trapped,' the statement continued
Mirman was reportedly rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital with significant injuries.
Colonel Mark B. Hall praised the rescuers, calling their actions 'heroic' in a statement, adding, 'Without hesitation, they put themselves at risk to help someone in need.'
The crash remains under investigation, though no charges have been filed at this time, according to WCVB.
TMZ first reported that Mirman was the man pulled from the fiery wreckage.
By the time the photos were snapped, little of Mirman's car was recognizable aside from its grill, while the top portion of the car appeared to have been completely eaten away by the flames.
Photos of the blaze suggest that multiple fire extinguishers were first used to try to extinguish the fire, with the discarded cylinders left haphazardly on the sidewalk near the burning car.
Firefighters ultimately were forced to completely coat the burning vehicle with firefighting foam to tamp down the flames.

After the flames had been tamed, firefighters in full protective gear worked to cover the wreck with a tarp that can also be used to help preserve evidence for an investigation.
The photos show that the toll both next to Mirman's destroyed car was surrounded by singed debris, but the extent of the damage to the booth or the toll plaza structure wasn't clear.
The images also showed emergency vehicles stopped near the toll plaza, while a wave of traffic built up in the distance as police kept drivers far from the crash.
They also revealed that, in addition to police and firefighters, multiple New Hampshire Department of Transportation employees were on site to assist with the commotion caused by the crash.
Governor Ayotte, 57, assisted by grabbing a fire extinguisher from a nearby vehicle to help with the rescue, according to Hall.
'She wasn't in harm's way at any point, but she has a great deal of care for our citizens and tried to do what she could at the scene to provide assistance,' Hall added.
Ayotte shared her gratitude for the lifesaving efforts of those involved in the rescue on social media.

Mirman is an acclaimed stand-up comedian, but he's best known for being part of the main cast of Fox's long-running animated comedy Bob's Burgers. He has voiced Bob's immature son Gene (center), for all 310 episodes of the series' 15-year run
'I want to thank the Trooper on my security detail and the bystanders who stepped up to help at the scene of the crash for their brave lifesaving efforts today,' she wrote on X.
She added, referencing her husband, 'Joe and I are praying for the full recovery of the driver who was injured today.'
While first responders were en route, the trooper on Ayotte’s security detail arrived on the scene, saw the vehicle actively on fire, and observed that the driver was still inside.
'The driver was then pulled from the burning car through a window and brought to safety,' New Hampshire State Police reported.

He has voiced Bob's immature middle child, his son Gene, for all 310 episodes of the series' 15-year run.
Bob's Burgers debuted on Fox in 2011, initially to mixed reviews, but strong ratings and subsequent improved ratings helped to turn the show into a success.
By 2022, the show had become such an institution that it released a feature film, The Bob's Burgers Movie, in theaters, and the series is now in the midst of its 16th season.
Last year, Fox renewed Bob's Burgers for another four seasons in a major deal that will keep the show on the air at least through 2029.
