DINWIDDIE, Va. — The driver of a Miley Cyrus tour bus was killed Friday morning when the vehicle crashed outside of Richmond, Va., the Associated Press reports.
The 16-year-old Cyrus was not on board when the bus overturned around 8:15 a.m. on Interstate 85 in Dinwiddie, about 40 miles south of Richmond, AP said.
The driver, identified as William G. Douglas, 53, of Austin, Texas, died at the scene.
Marty Zilio, 48, of Canada, was injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment. He was one of nine passengers on the bus who managed to escape through the front windshield.
The bus involved in the accident was part of a four-vehicle caravan heading toward Greensboro, N.C., where Cyrus is scheduled to perform on Sunday. The Hannah Montana star was not traveling with the group, which had departed Long Island, N.Y. late Thursday after a two-night stint at the Nassau Coliseum.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
