WOODVILLE – An accident at the Woodville Pellets plant resulted in an injury to a worker, sources indicate, last week, on the night of Wednesday, Feb. 2.

According to publicly available Facebook posts, Robby Bertrand was taken to the UTMB Galveston burn unit with injuries, and sustained burns to more than 70% of his body.

According to posts, his condition is stable, but he has a long road ahead of him, according to one family member’s public post.

At present, there is no statement from Woodville Pellets on the accident.

In the meantime, according to the Facebook page Chester Chat, there are community efforts to help Bertrand and his family during this time.

One member of the page has begun a “food train” for the family, with volunteers able to get meals to the family at the hospital. In public posts, friends of Bertrand have asked for prayers on his and his family’s behalf.
