Ray Hartmann, founder of Riverfront Times, killed in crash
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - Ray Hartmann, a journalist and former Missouri Congressional candidate, was killed in a car crash Thursday, a family friend has confirmed with FOX 2. Hartmann was the founder of The Riverfront Times and a key figure in the Nine PBS program Donnybrook. FOX 2 has confirmed that Hartmann was killed Thursday afternoon in a crash on Interstate 64 just west of Interstate 270. Authorities say a wheel came off of a semi-truck and struck his car. In 2024, Hartmann ran as a Democrat against Missouri Republican Ann Wagner for the 2nd Seat of Missouri U.S. Congress, winning the primary but falling short in the general election. Hartmann has also previously served on the boards of the American Civil Liberties Union and Starkoff Disability Institute. FOX 2 will update this story as more information becomes available.
