CBS 6 has just received new information from the Virginia State Police regarding this morning's crash involving a tour bus for singer Miley Cyrus.

Troopers were called out to the crash scene around 8:20 a.m. Friday. They say the crash occurred on I-85 south near mile marker 55 in Dinwiddie County, that's about 45-minutes south of Richmond, Virginia.

VSP says the bus was traveling southbound when it went off the left hand side of the roadway and went about 100 yards before it ended up on its right side. 10 people were on board the bus when it went off the road and overturned.

They are members of the singer's production lighting crew and many of them were asleep at the time of the crash. They exited the wreckage through the front windshield.

The singer was not on board the bus that wrecked, she was riding in another bus that was part of the tour group's caravan. The buses were not traveling as a pack and CBS 6 is told Cyrus' bus took a different route.

One person died, another sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash. State Police are not confirming the identities of the injured but CBS 6's Wayne Covil was told that the person who died was the driver of the bus.

UPDATE: According to officials, Miley was on a bus that was part of a 4-vehicle caravan which included the bus that crashed.

We're told Miley's bus was not involved in the crash..

Officials also confirmed the driver of the bus was the only fatality -- one other person was transported to a local hospital due to injury.

Entry fee for 'First Dibs' between 6pm and 6.30pm is £4. Get in early first to have the pick of all the items available to swap!

Entry after 6.30pm is £3.

The entry fee also covers your entry to the O'Couture Club, to stay and dance the night away!

Enter the fantastic raffle with excellent prizes, inlcuding a brand new Ipod Shuffle, Dinner for 2 at O'Couture and two tickets to the Ultimate Girls Night on the 26th November worth £5 each.
Deadline for bringing stuff in was Thursday, but given that there's an entry fee it's presumably fine to just rattle in.

it's just that for a poor and thusfar out-of-work artist, it seems like a lot of money to have to cough up every month... i think i've heard stories about people dodging payment in other cities before but i thought i'd run it by you guys here because i'm not sure how it works here in glasgow.

thanks. ]]> General Chat themoonallright http://www.altnation.com/forums/general-chat/148247-council-tax-does-everyone-really-pay.html
