The State - News from Sept. 22, 1986

A Bay Area woman who reportedly had argued with a bus driver and a security guard over a fare transfer, was dragged under the wheels of an AC Transit bus and killed, police said. The victim was identified as 50-year-old Zenetta Wright of Richmond. Investigators said the woman got into an argument over a transfer for her disabled sister after the bus they were riding developed mechanical problems on a Richmond street. The driver of a second bus, sent to pick up the first vehicle’s passengers, and a security guard subsequently ordered the woman off the bus. But as it pulled away from the curb, Wright was somehow pulled under the bus’ wheels and dragged for a distance. Her right leg was severed and she died at the scene, police said.
