channel 5 news car crash image
� ziv !
Heard on the internet that pop star/actress, Miley Cyrus, died in a car accident. Is this true? I keep getting really mixed, wishy-washy answers. Does anyone know for sure?
Answer
no:Contrary to fast-spreading rumors planted by pranksters on Digg.com and Wikipedia, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, pop singer and star of the Disney Channel's Hannah Montana TV series, did not die in a car crash on Friday, September 5.
As of Saturday morning, no such accident had been reported in any legitimate news source. The story is a hoax -- and a poorly spelled one, at that.
One version, attributed to "Rueters" [sic], reads as follows:
Actress Miley Cyrus Died in Terrible Car Accident
Teen star of the hit Disney television series "Hannah Montana" Miley Cyrus appears to have died in a tragic car accident in the early hours of Friday morning. The young starlet was on her way to the filiming [sic] of the upcoming "Hannah Montanna" [sic] Series when her vehicle was reportedly hit by a large truck. Witnesses estimate that the colliding vehicle was travelling [sic] at "At least 55mph" and had "Run a stop sign." Although rushed in a [sic] critical condition to Pacific Alliance Medical Centre [sic], the news broke quickly amongst reporters that the teen had succumbed to her injuries during surgery.
A very-much-alive Cyrus performed Friday night at the Fashion Rocks concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
