In the aftermath of the Miley Cyrus bus wreck, details are starting to come out about what may have happened to William Douglas, 53, the bus driver, and the 911 calls have been released.

In the first 911 call someone tells the dispatcher that William Douglas is still alive, but he is 'losing color', and police will hope that this will help determine if Mr. Douglas died before the crash happened or after.

In the second it is mentioned that Mr. Douglas is suffering from cardiac arrest. It in the third call that the caller is being instructed on how to perform CPR and that person mentions that there are people trapped in the bus.

Police tell TMZ there were no obvious signs that alcohol played a factor in the crash, and believe Douglas may have had health-related issues. The matter is still under investigation.

Miley Cyrus has not canceled any concerts but she did release this statement:

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill “Uncle Bill” Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed.”
