Young El Segundo man falls to his death
Services are scheduled for Saturday for a 20-year-old El Segundo man who fell to his death in an accident near Yosemite National Park.
Ryan Broderick died April 30 when he slipped on a wet culvert near Highway 140 and fell 50 feet onto the rocks below, Mariposa County Undersheriff Byron Robles said.
Broderick was on his way to Yosemite with friends when they stopped along the highway in the morning to look at the scenic canyon, Robles said.
Robles said Broderick had playfully gotten to the end of the concrete culvert, slipped on water running through it and his momentum carried him over the edge.
Broderick would have turned 21 on May 3.
Services are 4 p.m. today at El Segundo United Methodist Church.
