According to a statement from the New Hampshire Police Department, the incident occurred around 11:55 a.m. while Millman was driving on the F.E. Everett Turnpike.

The trooper, along with other bystanders, managed to pull Millman out through the window. Governor Ayonte expressed gratitude for the heroic actions of those who helped, stating, “Without hesitation, they put themselves at risk to provide assistance to those in need.”

After the accident, Millman’s representative released a statement saying, “Eugene was in a very scary car accident. He would like to thank the witnesses, state police, first responders, and hospital staff who helped save him. We are grateful that he is on the road to recovery. At this time, we ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries.” He was then taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

His accomplishments include various comedy albums and features. Reflecting on the growth of “Bob’s Burgers,” he stated, “It was great to be a part of a show that families watch together.” The series’ popularity ultimately led to the release of “The Bob’s Burgers Movie,” showcasing the family’s efforts to save their restaurant.
