An 18 year old Ridgefield High School graduate was killed Wednesday evening in an accident involving heavy equipment just over the state line in South Salem, New York. New York State Police say Brandon Gmelin was trying to move a log splitter delivered earlier in the day for landscaping work when the equipment rolled down a slope and struck him. He died at the scene despite efforts to save him. Gmelin had recently graduated with the Class of 2025 and was a standout on the Ridgefield lacrosse team. No foul play is suspected.
