Corey McBride Car Accident – The St. Louis Fire Department is mourning the sudden passing of Corey McBride, a dedicated firefighter who served the city for nearly two decades.
McBride was more than just a first responder—he was a brother, friend, and devoted public servant who committed his life to protecting his community.
Authorities confirmed that McBride tragically lost his life in a multi-vehicle crash late Saturday night at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Whittier Street.

Funeral arrangements will be announced in the coming days, and the department has asked the community to keep his family, friends, and fellow firefighters in their thoughts during this difficult time.
