One person was killed when a tour bus belonging to Miley Cyrus overturned, but the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star was not on board, Virginia State Police said.

Sergeant Thomas Molnar said the bus overturned  in central Virginia around 8.15am local time on Friday.

Molnar said the person who died at the scene was male, but didn't identify him pending notification of family members. One of the other nine people on the bus suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital. Police wouldn't identify those aboard.

A wrecker arrived late Friday morning to haul away the black-and-maroon luxury tour bus, which was on its side in a ditch off the highway where it had apparently skidded for several hundred feet.

According to Miley Cyrus' Website, the pop singer is scheduled to perform Sunday in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Miley Cyrus is the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, who also appears on the family friendly sitcom Hannah Montana.
