Unlike other viral internet rumors that say that something tragic happened to Miley Cyrus, there is sad news to report this Friday.

One person was killed this morning when Miley’s tour bus overturned.  The 16-year-old “Hannah Montana” actress was not on board the bus at the time, however.

Sgt. Thomas Molnar of the Virginia State police says the tour bus ran off the left side of highway 85, hit an embankment and flipped over. The accident happened around 8 a.m. EST about  40 miles south of Richmond.

The driver who was killed hasn’t been named pending notification of next of kin. One other person suffered minor injuries.

It must have been a bad accident, however, as the passengers had to exit the tour bus through the front windshield.

The bus was one of four heading to North Carolina together after the Cyrus’ two-show stay on Wednesday and Thursday in New York.
