ARLINGTON, Texas — A 67-year-old man has died following a collision with an Arlington ISD school bus, according to the Arlington Police Department.
On February 18, 2026, at approximately 2:34 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Treecrest Drive and the I-20 frontage road to investigate the crash involving the school bus and a bicyclist. The bicyclist, identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office as William Roberts, was thrown from his bike and found lying in the roadway. He was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
The driver of the school bus immediately stopped, called 911, remained on scene, and provided aid to Roberts following the collision. At this time, no criminal charges have been filed, stated the Arlington Police Department. Four students were on board the bus at the time, but they were not injured.
Investigators determined the collision occurred as the school bus was attempting to make a right turn from Treecrest Drive onto the I-20 frontage road, and Roberts approached the intersection cycling eastbound along the I-20 frontage road. Roberts was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
