Miley Cyrus

Dinwiddle, VA – One of Miley Cyrus tour buses carrying the singer’s band and crew, overturned on Interstate 85 early Friday morning at 10:23 A.M. in the Virginia accident. Miley Cyrus was on another bus and was not hurt.

The bus was one of four coaches transporting Cyrus’ tour crew to Greensboro, North Carolina, where she is due to perform on Sunday. The singer was not travelling with her crew – instead, she had boarded a flight to her native Nashville, as The Los Angeles Times reports.

Bill Douglas 53, the driver of the rolled over bus, died when the bus flipped over, injuring nine of 14 production crewmembers on board.

Cyrus has paid tribute on her website to the bus driver who lost his life in this tragic accident.

Miley expressed her grief at the death of “Uncle Bill”, who she considered part of her “family”.

In a statement posted on Cyrus’ website, she says, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill ‘Uncle Bill’ Douglas.

“Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed.”

Police told TMZ there were no obvious signs that alcohol played a factor in the crash, and believe Douglas may have had health-related issues. The matter is still under investigation.
