Miller was traveling on the bus with ten members of his band from Monte Carlo in Monaco to Hengelo in the Netherlands. The German-registered private bus tipped over as it drove into a bend on the A2 highway near the town of Schattdorf in central Switzerland. It came to a rest on its side, police said via the Associated Press.
The bus driver died from his injuries, a Swiss police spokesman Karl Egli said while reserve driver and the rest of the passengers were not seriously hurt.
