Austin, TX — October 12, 2025, a person was injured in an accident reportedly being dragged by a CapMetro bus on Pleasant Valley Road.
According to reports, the incident happened off the corner of Pleasant Valley Road and East Riverside Drive.
Investigations say that a person was trying to get on the bus when the driver allegedly closed the door on the person’s arm. The bus then apparently started driving, dragging the victim some distance before they fell off. That person had injuries due to the accident.
As of January 28, 2026, the bus driver faces a charge for accident involving injury. Additional details are unavailable.

If the allegations here prove to be true, it raises some serious questions about why this driver behaved this way and whether or not there was any way to foresee such an incident. Obviously, people can behave unpredictably. But if CapMetro management had a known risk behind the wheel, that would call into question their hiring and training procedures. Hopefully that’s been part of the investigations into this incident.
