The Eureka Fire Protection District is mourning the loss of a firefighter who was killed in a multiple vehicle accident while off-duty Friday night.

Missouri Highway Patrol said Greg Light, 49, was traveling westbound along Route O in Franklin County when a car heading eastbound on Route O attempted to pass another vehicle. The passing car then crashed head-on with Light’s vehicle.

Light was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene. A juvenile passenger in the other car was transported to a hospital with serious injuries. Her condition is unknown.
