DINWIDDIE, Va. (AP)
Virginia State Police say the driver of one of Miley Cyrus' tour buses was killed when the vehicle overturned on a highway about 40 miles south of Richmond Friday morning.
Police say 53-year-old William Douglas of Austin, Texas died at the scene.
Cyrus was not traveling with the group at the time of the crash.
Marty Zilio of Canada was injured in the crash and treated at a local hospital. He's a member of Cyrus' production crew.
The Cyrus family says on her Website that they're "deeply saddened by the loss of Bill 'Uncle Bill' Douglas" and that he'll be missed.
The bus was one of four traveling together from Long Island, New York, where the 16-year-old singer performed Thursday night. The group was headed for Greensboro, North Carolina for another show Sunday.
Miley Cyrus is the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus and appears on the Disney sitcom "Hannah Montana."
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
