The Virgina State Police has confirmed that a Miley Cyrus tour bus was involved in a deadly crash outside of Petersburg, Va. earlier today. According to a police press release, members of Cyrus’ crew were on board, but the 16-year-old star was not. The driver of the bus, William G. Douglas, 53, of Austin, Texas, died at the scene. The nine other passengers sustained injuries. They exited the vehicle through the front windshield. An investigation is underway to determine why the vehicle went off the road and flipped over.
The Cyrus family posted this message on mileycyrus.com: “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.”

She’s still doing her show tonight. She’s so sweet.
Looks like they partied in the USA….too hard. Hopefully he’s making The Climb to party in heaven now
You know you not right!
That was cruel. Your user name doesn’t fit that remark.
is that true? she is preforming tonight?
seems a little disrespectful
Maybe this will serve as a wake-up call for her to start facing reality and stop living like a prima-dona diva. Hoping she’ll see the light throughout all of this.
Was Miley the one that caused the crash? How can it be a wakeup call if she isn’t at fault?
Ogre Montana will have to find Jesus again. I guess this is what you get when you bash Twilight. The werewolves get you.
Ok, I don’t care how much you like Twilight. Somebody died, that’s just disrespecful!
Geez Clark. I am not a twilight fan but still that doesnt matter. Go easy on Miley. So what she doesnt like Twilight. No two people have to lkike the same thing. We all like different things. Miley doesnt deserve to be critzized because of her not wanting to watch twlight. Come on. Damn Twilight is judt a book and movie there is nothing to it if someone doesnt like it.
That has got to be the dumbest “diss” I have ever seen. Plus, it wasn’t her fault, and listening to her music is WAY BETTER than killing my braincells with Twilight!
This teenager obviously has an early drinking problem. It comes through the lens at us. he dad is a kabuki pimp.
This teenager obviously has an early drinking problem. It comes through the lens at us. Her dad is a kabuki pimp and neither one of them has a lick of talent. Hillbillies LOVE monshine, don’t they?
Can’t wait to see how this christian pole dancer and her trailer park daddy milk this tragedy for $$. They’ll probably play “The Climb” with pics of the accident (publicity stunt gone wrong?) at her next concert. They’ll “Jesus” the hell out of it:)
you people are awful…how can you trash talk a teenage girl about such a tragic accident. Some people have serious self esteem problems on this site. The comments are always so negative about anything…
Thank you Charley. Miley is such a sweet girl. I may be older then her but I can relate to her. People shouldent be so crule to her. She is still just a baby in many ways trying to make it through the hell down here on earth. Miley’s family and guy who his family have all of my sympathy. People need to be nice. instead o What would Jesus do? I go the saying the DEVIL JUST WONT WIN.’
I guess Jesus forgot to take the wheel.
um, wasn’t that Carrie Underwood that sang that song, not Miley Cyrus?
……BANG ZOOM!!!!
Publicity stunt in the name of christian profit. How sad, like omg.
Where are you people from? This man lost his life in a tragic accident and people are grieving his loss. No matter how you feel about Miley Cyrus and her dad are totally irrelevant. Since she is under contract to perform … she has no choice but to do so. And, Krish, it was not a stunt in the name of Christian profit … that was simply a comment from a person who obviously has no compassion for others.
Seriously, what’s wrong with some of the people on these message boards? A man died and nine people were injured, and you’re making tasteless, insensitive jokes. What any of you think of Miley or Billy Ray Cyrus is totally beside the point. How about sparing a thought for the family of the man who died, and the people who were injured.
I blame the bad weather.
I would have made light of the situation if people weren’t injured.
I knew people would bash Miley…or even somehow blame her for this. You know who I hate more than Miley fans? Miley haters! Some of the comments here are awful.
And as for her performing, if that’s true, millions of fans already bought their tickets, despite the tragedy, they still deserve the show they paid for. I don’t think Miley had a say in the matter, but if she did, I’m sure she was thinking of her fans, and I’m sure it was hard for her to do the concert in the first place. This is not the time to bash on her!!
I heard that Miley was drunk at the time of the accident. She’s obviously to blame.
