The Associated Press reports that one of the tour buses in Miley Cyrus' tour caravan overturned, killing one. While the identity of the driver has not been released, reports indicate that it was a male, possibly the driver. Cyrus was reportedly traveling in another vehicle.
According to reports, at about 8:15 am this morning, the bus ran off Interstate 85 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, about 40 miles south of Richmond. The bus then struck an embankment and overturned. Speed and weather weren't considered factors.
Sgt. Thomas Molnar told AP News that the bus was one of four traveling together after the singer's two-show run this past Wednesday and Thursday in Long Island, NY.
Cyrus is scheduled to perform in Greensboro, NC on Sunday.
