Marietta Police said Tuesday they’ve charged a Canton man with the hit-and-run death of a construction worker on Interstate-75 near Delk Road on Sept. 13.
Police said in release Tuesday that Daniel Broder, 20, was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on felony charges of first-degree vehicular homicide and another felony count of hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death.
According to Cobb Sheriff’s Office records, Broder is being held without bond.
Police said Martin Rivera, 30, of Chicago, was hit twice by vehicles as he was placing signage on the I-75 shoulder just north of Delk Road near 9 p.m. on Sept. 13.
Police said the first vehicle, a black Volkswagen Golf GTI, hit Rivera and drove away from the scene. The force of the first collision threw Rivera into the path of another vehicle, which police said stopped and the driver cooperated with the investigation.
Police said at the time that the Volkswagen may have “abruptly” exited I-75 at the South Marietta Parkway.
Police said they got an anonymous tip on Monday and worked leads to identify the suspect and his vehicle, and made the arrest at Broder’s home.
