Miley Cyrus

The driver of a tour bus for Miley Cyrus died on Friday when the vehicle crashed in Virginia, but the teen singer was not on-board, police said.

The bus ran off the side of the road and overturned on its side, and the 53 year-old driver, William G. Douglas of Austin, Texas, died at the scene, Virginia State Police said.

After the crash, nine passengers who were on-board walked out through the vehicle's front windshield, police said.

Cyrus, who is on a concert tour for which the bus was hired, was not in the vehicle when it crashed.

A representative for Cyrus was not available to comment.

Miley Cyrus felt "anxious and insecure" working with Liam Hemsworth.

The 'Hannah Montana' star is rumoured to be dating her 'The Last Song' co-star - who she describes as her "best friend" - and although she won't confirm the romance speculation, she says she is amazed by how much they understand one another.

She said: "I've never gotten along with someone so well. I was a little anxious about making this movie; I wanted everything to be perfect. To go on set and feel insecure was a totally new element for me. But he felt the same way. He admitted his insecurities, and it was really nice to have someone who understands me for once."

The 16-year-old singer-and-actress also admitted one of the reasons why she deleted her Twitter account was to protect her relationship with the Australian actor.

She explained to Seventeen magazine: "It sucks when your personal life becomes public. So I'm finding ways to make my personal and private life more of my life - which is one of the reasons why I deleted my Twitter. We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very D.L (down low). First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time."
