A group, including New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, her security team, and bystanders, helped pull Mirman from the vehicle before it became fully engulfed in flames. State Police Colonel Mark Hall said a trooper and two bystanders removed him through a window after recognizing the severity of the crash.
Ayotte also exited her vehicle to assist and retrieved a fire extinguisher, though officials said she was not in danger. In a social media post, she thanked those involved for their “brave lifesaving efforts.”
Mirman sustained serious injuries but they are not believed to be life-threatening. He was taken to Elliot Hospital for treatment.
A witness said the driver, appearing disoriented, mentioned a child might be inside the vehicle, but later confirmation from his wife indicated no child was present. Firefighters used specialized equipment, including a fire blanket, to put out the blaze, while northbound lanes of the Everett Turnpike were closed during the response.
Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.
