Worker who died in Cobb concrete plant accident identified

The worker who died in a concrete plant accident in Cobb County on Monday has been identified.

The Cobb medical examiner’s office said the victim is Norberto Galicia Romero, 49, of Houston.

Cobb fire spokesman Dan Dupree said Romero’s body was found around 9 p.m. Monday at the Thomas Concrete Woodstock plant on Canton Road in Marietta.

A 911 call around 3 p.m. from the business said a man was trapped inside a concrete silo. Two workers had been doing repairs inside the silo when one slipped and fell, fire crews told Channel 2 Action News. He was buried under the gravel.

Cobb fire and emergency services personnel worked through the night to get to him.
